DeVore Fidelity Gibbon Super 8

This pair of Devore Gibbon Super 8 speakers has the upgraded tiger walnut/birdseye maple finish ($1k more than standard cherry finish). They look and sound beautiful.  Condition is conservatively rated as very good to account for very minor scratches or dings, but nothing you would notice from 3 feet.  You will be proud to display these in your listening room.   Comes with original boxes, manual and factory spikes, which I will send in their own box as they are heavy and I would not want them to damage the speakers.   

With an 8 Ohm nominal impedance and a 7.1 ohm minimum, the Super 8 presents a very easy to drive load, especially with tube amps. These rarely come available used.
