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

I didn’t know if you looked at any local dealers or not. I saw one carried Klipsh and JBL, both high efficiency.

I also noted that one of the dealers in Denver carried ProAc. I owned Quicksilver amps at one point and they were a good match with ProAc speakers.

Arizona Hi Fi in Phoenix carries Devore O96 and Shindo Lafita speakers if you want a shorter flight than Chicago, but there is not an Audio Note dealer in Phoenix.

Good luck with your search.

@jperry Thanks for clarifying. I'll look for the ProAc. It looks like a flight may be in order. 

@ghasley I may need to go somewhere. I'm interested in any Devore or Audio Note speaker. I need to grok their sound, in general, the way I was able to with the Spatials with a local bloke.

The point of this post is to see if any private individual in Denver has these speakers and might be willing to meet up.

I posted this question about Spatials on AudioCircle and had someone reply in less than an hour with an invite to come over to his house. We had a great time.

Have you checked with Audio Alternative in Fort Collins?  I know at one tiime he had some Zu speakers.

@hilde45 can you broadly describe your room and the desired setup? The sound between the O series and the Audio Note is vaguely similar but it all depends on the room because they each kindof get there via opposite origins. For instance, if you don’t have corners, Audio Note can be challenging. If all you have are near wall options in your room, Devore can sometimes over load the room. I’ve had AN-E and O96 in the same room with the same gear and lets just say it takes some work…its worth it but it takes work. Setup is key and the placement of these two speakers is not even remotely similar.
