DeVore Giggon X – Part-Time Audiophile – Best of 2014

I’ve been a fan of John DeVore for as long as I’ve been writing, with my favorite being the 3XL — that was (and is) an astonishingly great stand-mount. When the Orangutan came out, I schemed and plotted until I was able to get my own. But with the new Gibbon, John has completely outdone himself — this is the best he’s yet released, and by a fair margin. A truly incredible loudspeaker.

In JCA's large (32' × 24') listening room, the Xes "did not sound reticent or especially warm. I heard the X as a bid for neutrality. It had considerably more energy in the higher frequencies than other DeVore speakers I've listened to, and though its bass went deeper, it was leaner."
