"Year 26 for DeVore Fidelity and John DeVore wasn’t chasing spectacle at AXPONA 2026. He was doing something far more dangerous. In a show packed with $100,000 loudspeakers, including his own Orangutan O/Reference, most systems impressed for five minutes and then slowly gave the game away. This one didn’t follow that script. It didn’t try to overwhelm you. It didn’t ask for attention. It just sat there and delivered tone, weight, and emotional clarity in a way that made a lot of other rooms feel like expensive distractions.
That should make people uncomfortable. It should. Because once you hear it, the usual suspects asking for down payment money and ballroom sized rooms to prove their point start to feel a little less convincing."
DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/Reference at AXPONA 2026 delivers tone, power, and emotional connection that most $100K systems miss.
