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

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,

@ghasley as usual, hits nail on head

@ghasley  @jjss49 

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). 

@jdoris No editorializing one way or the other about Zu from me. As a former Zu owner, I too love the company and the original guys behind Zu. When I said I'm not so sure they get cross shopped with Devore or Audio Note, it was a generic statement. Klipsch, JBL, Zu and Tekton make fine speakers...many are quite happy with their purchase. I was just drawing an inference from the Devore and Audio Note owners with whom I communicate...no one cross shopped with those four brands for various reasons. For me, sound quality, build quality and aesthetics must strike a meaningful balance. I won't compromise sound quality but thankfully I didn't have to.
