Description

Recently moved to a smaller place in Encinitas and needed to downsize. Pretty happy with the sound from this new configuration so thought I would share.
Like many of you, I have been on the audiophile treadmill for quite a while - over 2 decades now.
While I've had more expensive systems, I would say few match the overall coherence of this setup. The components work well together. The Wilsons dovetail nicely with the SVS (a wonderful sub) to deliver very flat response from 20 - 20K. And the Devialets are incredibly versatile - delivering clean, quiet power to effortlessly drive the Wilson's to concert level SPLs.

Thanks for the feedback, DJ. Yes - I have been pretty impressed with the versatility, power, and sound of the Devialet's. Amazing for a couple monoblocks that together are smaller than a regular pizza box :-) Best of luck with your new config.

Nice rig. Very interesting ideal going with the Devialet system. I will be going into a major downsizing  operation soon too and  that might be an option. I definitely like the form factor and styling of the Devialet. Thanks  for posting.
