DeVore Orangutan micr/O – Part-Time Audiophile – Reviewers Choice

Time after time I felt like I had discovered a big secret, and that if I had the Micr/Os back when I was a young man living in LA I wouldn’t have had upgrade fever all the time. These are little cubes that can make even the most spoiled audiophiles think hey, I had no idea that the DeVore Fidelity Orangutan Micr/O monitors could please me so much, but they do. If you’re already a fan of DeVore Fidelity, that shouldn’t be a surprise. Highly recommended.

DeVore Orangutan micr/O – Part-Time Audiophile – Best Bookshelf

But the micr/Os are the 2024 MP Award winner because they are brilliant in small spaces. They like being against the back wall, where the bass is reinforced properly. I love small bookshelf speakers because they provided me with decades of great sound in small spaces–they allowed me to be a fussy audiophile on a small budget. The micr/Os are one of the finest small-room monitors I’ve heard, and they hold a very special place in my heart because of that.

DeVore Orangutan micr/O – Part-Time Audiophile – Best Value

But the real reason why the DeVore Fidelity Orangutan Micr/O is a nominee for 2024 Best Value is that these transducers aren’t about the specs. They’re about making an emotional connection with the listener, and in many ways they reminded me of the greatest BBC designs in the way you simply toss away your reviewer’s Clipboard of Objectivity and you get lost in your favorite music.
