A$5,200 AUD is a fair-to-slightly-ambitious asking price, not a bargain, for a clean pair of DeVore Fidelity micr/Os. A new pair has been reported around A$5,600 AUD equivalent, while the model’s compact sealed-cube design and strong resale appeal support a healthy used value; still, I’d want excellent condition and complete accessories at this money.
These are unusually engaging small speakers: lively, tonally rich, and exceptionally easy to place on shelves, desktops, or near room boundaries. The 89 dB sensitivity and nominal 8-ohm load suit modest integrated amplifiers, while the horn-loaded textile tweeter gives vocals and acoustic instruments plenty of presence. Check the terminals carefully, as they can be fragile, and confirm the exact generation, finish, grilles, packaging, and absence of cabinet damage. At A$4,500–A$4,800 AUD it would look notably more compelling; at A$5,200 AUD, buy for condition and convenience rather than price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
DeVore Fidelity is a New York-based loudspeaker brand founded by John DeVore in 2000. DeVore, a Rhode Island School of Design graduate, began building speakers years earlier as a hobby while studying and later working in Manhattan audio retail, giving the company a strongly hands-on, designer-led heritage.
The company is known almost exclusively for speakers, not electronics or accessories. Its core lines include the Gibbon, Orangutan, and Silverback families, with a reputation for efficient designs that are often friendly to lower-powered amplifiers. That focus on a small, carefully developed product range is a defining part of the brand.
In the market, DeVore Fidelity sits firmly in the high-end boutique tier. It is a niche brand rather than a mass-market one, admired by serious hi-fi buyers for musical, room-friendly loudspeakers with distinctive character and artisanal build quality. The company’s appeal is especially strong among listeners who value premium two-channel systems and a more personal, independent approach to speaker design.
