Why are DeVore speakers so highly regarded and expensive ?

They seem simpler and two way speakers..not like the multiple drivers tower speakers that are popular today?

Cos the sound that a speaker produces has very little to do with the number of drivers it has.

The human ear is most sensitive to the midrange frequencies - if a speaker nails that, the rest is secondary.

Either way - you should read up Snell loudspeakers and why they work. DeVore is a modern interpretation of the classic Snell design. Same thing with Audio Note.

There are so many such things in the audio but end of the day, designer's taste must match with yours and its asking price your purse.

This is a blanket statement. Devore speakers are expensive for sure. This can be verified from cost figures. But these speakers may not be highly regarded for all. If you are planning to purchase them, please ensure that you give them a listen before spending that kind of amount.
Audio is highly subjective. Speaker is the most important component which shapes up sound of your system. Investment in speakers should be made keeping in mind that you can comfortably spend a good 15 to 20 years with them.

I think I saw the same post on reddit by you.

In any event my two cents having heard the o/96 a few times for a few hours. They're very musical. What I mean by this is that musical instruments have heft like they would if you were in the presence of the real thing. Modern speakers tend to thin out the way instruments sound (wide generalisation) but the devores sound realistic.

They have a fantastic level of detail without being too fatiguing. The presentation throughout the frequency ranges is very well balanced. They're very dynamic as well.

Then there's the bass - these babies go down low so you don't feel like you need a subwoofer - the bass is tight and articulate and very enjoyable. Tagging in @essrand

Thank you for your kindness in responding .

Couple of ideas that come to my mind, given my experience with my speakers which are Irving Bud Fried Signature A6 transmission line speakers driven by a Harman kardon AVR amplifier.

1. Transmission lines give lower than usual tight bass.
2. Series Crossovers have smoother slopes. They put more strain on the tweeter though.
3. Snell speakers two ways are more musical than many more drivers in a single cabinet - complex Crossovers in a multi way and more current capacity required by all the several drivers.
