Hindi bro. Meron kasi silang banana pins na. Pero there are some users who have been using Furutech banana plugs and some dealers offering the Naim NAC A5 terminated with Furutech banana/spade plugs.

$26,500 SRP. Di ko na kaya yan. Maiiwan ang system ko dyan. Parinig na lang ako pag bumili ka.

180k SRP iirc. I'm still waiting on his offer pa. Sana mababa. I might be selling my speaker na this week.

Read this from Stereophile:

While the comparably priced Harbeth Compact 7 ES-3 offered a slightly richer, fuller sound, the Gibbon 3XL produced excellent low-level resolution, reasonably wide dynamics, and stable, pinpoint imaging, said ST.

DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 3XL
Class A (Restricted Extreme LF)

Frequency Response: 45Hz-40kHz
Sensitivity: 90dB/W/M
Impedance: 8 ohms

Harbeth Monitor 30.1
Class A (Restricted Extreme LF)

Frequency Response: 50Hz -20kHz +/-3dB free space
Sensitivity: 85dB/W/M
Impedance: 6 ohms

Harbeth C7ES-3
Class B (Restricted LF)

Frequency Response: 46Hz -20kHz +/-3dB free space
Sensitivity: 86dB/W/M
Impedance: 6 ohms

Those Harbeth with an efficiency of 85 and 86 would require a lot of amp power compared to the Devore

Though on paper the harbeths seem like a load, these are really very easy to drive....

jh@meeh · « **Reply #1607 on:** Sep 08, 2013 at 06:00 PM »

Mura nman na ang external power amps ngayon para mag drive ng speakers...i.e. emotiva xpa2 300w x 2, bago ka mangalahati sa capacity nyan, bingi ka na...ang SQ naman ay subjective, kung like mo mas controlled at clear as day ang tunog, popondo ka talaga...

Oo mukhang sold na ko sa DeVore. Natural and lively. Pero parang gusto ko rin pakinggan yung Amphion Argon 3. Hmmm.. Alam ko my system can handle up to maybe around 400-500k speakers. Kaya pangarap ko yung Focal Diablo Utopia.
