Devore / Bay Area

Dear friends,

This is a random request from the community. I live in the Bay Area, just outside SF. I am contemplating laying down a 50% deposit on a pair of Devore o/baby's. I have a low powered tube amp that is currently mismatched with my speakers and I have read so many great reviews about the Devore Orangutan's and these are within my budget. The problem is that I've never heard any Devore speakers. 

So my request to y'all - are there any of you here in the Bay Area that would be open to letting me listen to your Devore o/whatevers system so I can at least know what the Devore sound is all about? I am up in Vallejo, but willing to travel. Thank you! - A

@eric5kim - ahh, sorry about that, you were right on target though, that’s exactly how Tone of Music treats people. You can barely even walk in the door before he says something just like that. He also said he’d charge me $100 an hour for his expertise if I didn’t buy since selling audio is like having the expertise of a medical doctor. I am serious. He said it right to my face. 

Any Docs out there care to disagree with him?

@larsman - I really tried to buy from him. As I said I like to shop locally and I do. I’m glad it worked out for you.

I can think of another bay area dealer that told me "We carefully source our gear from the best in the industry. If we don't stock it then you're not buying quality gear". We need better dealers here in the Bay, I haven't been to one that I've appreciated.
