Hi Eril,
Could you please describe the type of difference you hear.
The normal stuff we get in reviews would do.
I'd say the Max Hemps wins when it comes to dynamics, and really shine with rock (they have that 'hemp tone' that I never heard any other speaker offer... it is something really special!). The sound is so open and more alive. You can really turn up the volume with these and they play very clean. These offer BIG bang for the buck $$$
I'd say the DeVore Super 8s are smoother and more refined (but do NOT lack detail). They'll need more power to really shine (they are less efficient), so no flea amps if you want to do them justice. The Super 8s are a 2-way, but this is one speaker that doesn't sound like it has a crossover in there... you'll know when you listen that it was very well designed and seamless from top to bottom. They sounded rich and well balanced the two times I heard them with the Sig 30 (and 70s).
I really like 'em both, but never had either in my home system, so it is so hard to comment much beyond that. Without having either in my room for a few days to listen to and get familiar with (with all my albums that I know so well), I feel like I am probably not doing either any justice.
FWIW, The Absolute Sound is in the process of reviewing the Omega Max Hemps. The reviewer should be able to dig down deep and spill the ink on them. It sounds like he really liked what he heard at RMAF.
As for the DeVore Super 8s, all the reviewers loved 'em. They are hard not to love.
Hope this helps more than causes confusion
Vinnie
