Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver


I'm on the hunt for a sensitive speakers to play really nicely with my Quicksilver Mono 60 amps. I've heard some nice Spatial X3's here in Denver thanks to a local audiophile. I was especially taken by their AMT tweeters.

If you're in the Denver area and have Devore, Audio Note, Zu, Tekton, or any other speaker which has really worked well for your tube amps, please DM me. I would be deeply grateful for even  an hour of listening time. Thank you!

Is the thought that AN and Devore are "in a different class" -- presumably higher?

Zu, anyway, makes some ambitious and good sounding speakers (with a definite "flavor" to my ear, when I've heard them). 

 

 

@jdoris No editorializing one way or the other about Zu from me. As a former Zu owner, I too love the company and the original guys behind Zu. When I said I'm not so sure they get cross shopped with Devore or Audio Note, it was a generic statement. Klipsch, JBL, Zu and Tekton make fine speakers...many are quite happy with their purchase. I was just drawing an inference from the Devore and Audio Note owners with whom I communicate...no one cross shopped with those four brands for various reasons. For me, sound quality, build quality and aesthetics must strike a meaningful balance. I won't compromise sound quality but thankfully I didn't have to.

Interesting, thanks.  Lots of reason's speakers draw different crowds of course.

@jdoris full disclosure, I have no industry affiliations but I do own four different speaker brands for various systems and applications. Certainly there is no best for every person or every system.

Thanks all -- just heard some great Apertura Evolution speakers right here in Denver.

Very, very nice.
