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

Great suggestions! I need to decide whether I am a dome or ribbon guy. 

The best dome I've ever heard is ATC's 3" soft dome midrange. There is nothing else quite like it.

Not really useful information for you as the bigger ATC passive models probably won't match up well with your amps.

Just saying...

Good luck with your search. You're on the right track.

@vinylvalet  Thanks. I have ATC high on my list but I realize I need to go down this path, first. That doesn't preclude other paths. I'm starting to see this hobby as composed of genres -- various combos of amps and speakers of different types, all with different types of synergies. It may be a search for the right combo or it may be a search for a combo for now. My hearing could change, my tastes could change, my wallet could change. I am already eyeing some Lyngdorf integrateds for the phase when (maybe) I downsize.

You're welcome. I agree with everything you're saying; my experience as well.

I wish everyone could audition a properly set up pair of active ATC SCM50 or 100ASLT speakers before making their final all important speaker/amplifier decision.

atc’s have their strengths but are a totally, and i mean totally, different kettle of fish to what the op is asking for re devore or audio note (and low powered sweetie pie ss se tube amps that could drive them)
