"Gibbon 3XL is an impressive sounding two-way standmount. The sound was unforced, with top-octave ease and space galore on the snare-drum rimshots. Cymbals in particular had superbly natural texture and HF extension." John Atkinson, Stereophile.com

"In conclusion the DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 3XL is an extraordinary speaker of refinement, power, projection, delicacy, nuance and detail." Ken Micallef, 6moons.com

"The sound was what I have come to expect from DeVore speakers: energetic, easy to listen to, detailed but without harshness, and with outstanding bass for a speaker of its size." Laurence Borden, Stereotimes.com

"DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 3XL Speakers: Amazing sound from a small pair of stand-mounted speakers. Utilizing the tweeter unit from its top-of-the-line Silverback Reference speakers, and a new, 5-inch paper woofer all in a terrific-looking, solid bamboo enclosure (very green), John DeVore has created a wonderful sounding small speaker. They produced some of the best, musical sounds at the show." Thestreet.com

"The sound here was exceptionally good with outstanding detail, transparency and dynamics…all without the slightest hint of irritation." Enjoythemusic.com

"Stepping into the DeVore Fidelity room was like stepping back in time to the mid-1960's — at least visually. The sound was thoroughly modern and among the Best Rooms at the show." EnjoyTheMusic.com

"Pretty much a full-range option that beats the bigger guys at ten times the price in terms of, well simply everything." Dave and Carol Clark, Positive Feedback

"After listening to the 88 for a while, I came to feel that it offered an uncanny combination of unforced natural warmth, very good levels of resolution, and stunning 3-D imaging/soundstaging—the latter a quality I consider one of the defining characteristics of DeVore's best designs." Chris Martens, AV Guide

"The new DeVores sounded wonderful" Art Dudley, Stereophile Magazine

"I sat down for a bit and heard a smooth, confident, and effortless sound, with imaging that didn't so much thrill as captivate, entrance, and allure. Easy on the eyes and the ears." Stephen Mejias, Stereophile Magazine

"The 88 is one smooooth, satisfying speaker. There's plenty of weight down low, with a rich, detailed bass, and the top end is satin-rich, without a single rough edge. The Gibbon 88 shoots a superb soundstage, with realistic, fleshed-out, full-sized images. I could listen to these speakers all day." Jason Thorpe, Soundstage

"To my eye, the look and design of the Gibbon 88 are sophisticated, and to my hand, the fit and finish are about as good as it gets. A super-spacious-sounding audiophile speaker with great bass that works especially well with tube amplification." Brent Butterworth, Sound And Vision
