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!

Never heard this model of Paradigm but the Founder 120h would work with low watt tube amps only the mids and highs are driven by external amp the subwoofer is built in active. 

Jim Smith's listening studio is located in Cummings, GA just north of Atlanta.

While there, travel south to Macon and visit The Big House; Allman Brothers museum. As a rock/blues Hammond organ player, it was like going to Mecca.

Then on to Savanah, one of our favorite US cities.

My session with Jim was a game changer.

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.
