    DeVore Orangutan Flagship in the works!

    I looked around but didn't see any post on the latest news from DeVore. The O96 will get a big brother! A cost no-object Orangutan model is in the works.

    CES 2017 video: DeVore Fidelity to unleash $20,000+ flagship Orangutan loudspeaker
    Posted on January 20, 2017 by Rafe Arnott in CES 2017
    I got lucky in Vegas.
    No, no… not the way you think.
    I got lucky with news from John DeVore of DeVore Fidelity.
    He’s working on his new flagship Orangutan-series loudspeaker. A lot of time, and effort is being focused on making this a truly worthy stablemate to the king of the DeVore speaker jungle, and DeVore said that while the price most likely will be north of $20,000 USD for the new model, he is not building to a price point. He’s building it to be the best he is capable of, which is testament to his desire to push his speaker-design limits. Those who’ve heard them are familiar with what DeVore’s transducers are capable of when it comes to playback of the flesh-and-bone variety. His Orangutan line are culpable in the art of sonic seduction: Ditto for his Gibbon X, and 3XL, The Nines… the list goes on. Having had my living room graced with a pair of O/96s for a number of months summer before last, I’m intimately familiar with what these waveform translators are capable of.


    DeVore O/96 (left), and O/93. Naming convention is based on efficiency… could we see an O/98?
    But let’s skip ahead a bit in this report. It was at RMAF in October that I first got wind DeVore was monkeying around with larger bass drivers, bigger enclosures, and bronze tweeter horns in an effort to push the limits of his O-series designs. I spoke with him about it then, but getting the whole story has proven to take longer than I initially anticipated. Patience has paid off because when I caught up with him at CES in Las Vegas, and asked what he had going on in his Brooklyn Naval Shipyard production studio/factory, I was rewarded with confirmation that he was indeed hunkered-down with a new tweeter, mid/bass Alnico-magnet prototype drivers, and research into a number of new enclosure materials, and shapes for a sibling to the O/96. He said he’d always envisioned the Orangutan series as a three-speaker lineup. The O/93s followed the 96s in short order as the entry-level model, but it’s taken longer to refine, and expand on the design of the 96 to the point where DeVore is ready to announce another incarnation.


    CES 2017 coverage brought to you by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs.


    The prodigal son returns with Sugden at CES in Las Vegas earlier this January. DeVore looks on at right.
    While he’s still hesitant about a firm launch date for a prototype version, have no doubt that this is happening. It could be late 2017, or early 2018 but the O/96 will find itself a middle child at last, sandwiched between the O/93, and its yet unnamed big brother. Watch the video at the drop for the full story.
    I apologize for the poor quality of the video, my camera was suffering technical issues that day. Thanks again to John DeVore for his patience in making this happen.

    Re: DeVore Orangutan Flagship in the works!

    The new Orangutan reference was introduced at RMAF. Rave reviews so far. $80K estimated selling price. IMO I was a bit disappointed to see what looks like 2 extra 096's added to the set up. I know they are much more than that but was hoping for something more dynamic visually.
    I'm love my 096's.

    I agree. The extra tweeters must be 24 karat gold.

    I ordered my 96 two weeks ago. I can't wait to set them up at the cottage.

    Yes, for 85k I was hoping for more than a scaled-up Orangutan. It even appears the cabinets are similar as the 12k O/96.

    I realize all those custom drivers and waveguide horns are expensive, but it feels incomplete - now when I hear a set, maybe that will change.

    The parts cost is not expensive...Devores project develop time is...dependent on his hourly...

    Looks like he is trying to recoup that cost in a couple of sales though...a real shame...I really like the O96...

    I got to hear these at RMAF - twice. I asked for clarification on the price three times.

    Re: DeVore Orangutan Flagship in the works!

    What do you guys think John's realistic sales expectations are for this model. For the most part he has done it and now understands the parts, cost and time it takes to build it. This pair will most likely live at the shop, his house and at shows. If someone has to have a pair they pay their money up front and wait months for delivery. Sam with the complete Verity Monsalvat system which left the factory showroom for the first time ever. If you have the money for what ever variation of that system you want and the ballroom size listening room it takes then you pay the dealer the $675,000+ and wait for 6 months and up for the dealer and distributor to come set it up.

    Better off using copper & better off using it as a gasket between the speaker frame & the cabinet it is going into - at least on the woofer...
    It can be used as a wave guide on the tweeter where it provides significant & measurable sonic benefits as it does using it as a gasket on the woofer...
    Retail - about $1500.00 for a pair of speakers...these are on my speakers...

    A much more expensive investment is the crossover...this is mine...
    All Dueland VSF...Path Audio resisters & Jantzen foil inductors...

    Now THAT is a crossover...

    Good luck for that speaker design. Looks like he is using four boxes for stereo.

    Even I love John Devore and respect his work but it better be damn good to sell those around 80 k mark. There are too much competition in that price range.

    I'm sorry, but I find this in poor taste. Making fun of a very successful company's background?

    and since when has John Devore used off the shelf parts?

    Re: DeVore Orangutan Flagship in the works!

    I personally find the price of $85K ridiculous.
    Lets start with a pair of 096's for $12K then add another similar sized box of drivers for another $12K then let's reward John for the design process with another $12K.
    You are now up to $36K. Still high but where does the other $50K come into the picture?
    John's speakers are nice but this doesn't add up in my book.
