Thank you Cyril.
These make the Orangutan and the Gibbon lines at the same price level. They look like Super 8's with more bass.
Really not an easy decision to take based only on the comments of users / listeners.
Seems that the O96 would be great for my living room but maybe the SilverBacks would fit better in the main room especially for the bass quality.
And now comes the Gibbon X that could be a bit of both worlds...

I guess I will have to wait for a listening of the 3 speakers before taking my decision.
There is a dealer in London and one other in the Benelux ( don't remember if it is Belgium or Netherlands ). I will have to make the trip.
Really too sad that there is no importer / dealer in France.
I guess that the market here is too small for both ProAc and DeVore.
