DeVore Fidelity gibbon Super Nine Speakers

Bass is repeatedly described as deep, articulate, powerful, and foundational rather than bloated. Its character varies somewhat with amplification, and one reviewer wanted just a little more low-end weight, but reports still praise its control, extension, and rhythmic contribution.

The midrange earns particularly strong praise for its silky smoothness, natural tone, and startling realism with voices and instruments. Reviewers hear rich but accurate color, with convincing wood tones, body, and an organic sense of life rather than a dry analytical balance.

Reviewers describe the top end as crystal clear, extended, and notably refined. The tweeter is credited with sparkle, shimmer, and beauty, while the overall presentation remains natural and free of reported hardness.

Spatial performance is a defining strength. Two reviewers call it the best soundstage they have heard in their respective rooms, citing exceptional width and depth, stable individual image placement, and effects that extend far beyond and even behind the speakers.

The Super Nine is reported to be highly expressive both at low level and when played loudly. Reviewers praise its quick, lively microdynamics, remarkable “startle factor,” and ability to handle major dynamic swings at high levels without audible strain.

The Super Nine uses solid bamboo cabinetry, high-quality paper-in-oil and film crossover capacitors, twin 7-inch paper-cone drivers, and a treated textile-dome tweeter. The reviewed Mahogany finish was described as stunning, while the narrow-front, deep-cabinet form is designed to preserve internal volume without dominating a room.

At roughly $9,900 to $9,990, the Super Nine remains a substantial investment, but reviewers speak positively about its proposition. One calls it a tremendous bargain, while another notes that it aims to bring much of the larger gibbon X’s performance in a more compact, easier-to-place design for about $6,000 less.
