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!

Speaker companies that sell direct - like Zu - have a return policy. Plus you would be able to audition them at home.

An interesting weakness of the direct sales-trial-return policy is that many do not have sufficient stock right now. I have heard from more than a few people that the wait is measured in multiple months of backlog these days.

 

The ultimate paradox during an environment like today is if a company has what you might want in stock and ready to ship, you begin to doubt the selection (if unheard). Kindof like pulling up to a restaurant with an empty parking lot.

 

No offense intended but I'm not so sure Audio Note or Devore get cross shopped very often with Klipsch, JBL, Zu or Tekton.

From what I've read, the Klipsche Forte IV are super sensitive (99db) and love tubes.

Listen Up, Inc. is in Denver at 685 S Pearl St. Their number is 303-778-0780. 
They also carry other brands as well so it could end up being a one stop shopping experience for you. 

All the best,

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).
