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

@hilde45,

I would add Tannoy’s to your list as well. Either the Turnberry or Stirling’s would be a great match for your Quicksilver mono’s. If you ever in Houston, come over for some Tannoy’s magic and Tex-Mex treats :-)

Coherency is the best way to describe a single driver speaker. The sense of integration clearly affects how the listener perceives the treble, midrange and bass response. Speaking of Devore and Tannoy’s, there is no trace of ‘one-note’ emphasis that some speakers exhibit. Instead, you get natural detail with excellent pace, rhythm and timing. Once you hear a single driver speaker, all else pales in comparison, IMHO.

Also add, Cube Audio’s Nenufar to your list.

I would say the new offerings  from Klipsch absolutely play in the same class as Devore and AN. Anyone who thinks differently should audition the Khorn AK6, LS AL5 or CW IV.

@whart @hilde45 It is interesting to hear you both talk about Austin. I was born there in 1949 but now live in Fredericksburg. We retired here in 2016. Except for 4 years working in Amarillo I lived my entire life in Austin. The goto audio store was High Fidelity and I bought my first receiver there in the 60's, a Sansui. I kept it for many years but traded it back to them at some point. I bought my first McIntosh system from them in the early 80's. Good memories. Sadly High Fidelity closed in the mid 80's.

@lalitk — I will add Tannoy! Yes! I forgot about them. And I suspect we'd get on famously. I'll let you know if I go back to Houston. Gotta see the Menil again…been too long. Cube added to list. Hey — have you ever heard Pearl Acoustics' speakers?

@fgbbill Love Fredericksburg. Had some romantic times at a tiny little A-frame called, I think, Gasthaus Schmidt with my new bride, a Texan!

@carlsbad No, I won't overlook Tektons. And I'm not against modding, for sure. Thanks!
