Tone of Music in SF sells them. I have no connection and have never brought anything from him, and wouldn't, just FYI.
Devore / Bay Area
Dear friends,
This is a random request from the community. I live in the Bay Area, just outside SF. I am contemplating laying down a 50% deposit on a pair of Devore o/baby's. I have a low powered tube amp that is currently mismatched with my speakers and I have read so many great reviews about the Devore Orangutan's and these are within my budget. The problem is that I've never heard any Devore speakers.
So my request to y'all - are there any of you here in the Bay Area that would be open to letting me listen to your Devore o/whatevers system so I can at least know what the Devore sound is all about? I am up in Vallejo, but willing to travel. Thank you! - A

Well , it appears @eric5kim is the owner of Tone of Music and his response shows why I didn’t buy. I have tried twice to buy equipment from him and both times he was rude and opinionated to the point of insulting. I have spent well over $20,000 in the past two years upgrading my equipment. He had not received a dime of my money. And I always buy local unless it’s impossible. |
@eric5kim - ahh, sorry about that, you were right on target though, that’s exactly how Tone of Music treats people. You can barely even walk in the door before he says something just like that. He also said he’d charge me $100 an hour for his expertise if I didn’t buy since selling audio is like having the expertise of a medical doctor. I am serious. He said it right to my face. Any Docs out there care to disagree with him? |
@larsman - I really tried to buy from him. As I said I like to shop locally and I do. I’m glad it worked out for you. |
@m-db Great suggestions! You buying? 😁 |
