Anyone Auditioning in Denver??

[Everest]

Like many of you I have poured over the forums and reviews and have tussled with what to purchase and I think I have found the candidates. My main goal is to build a system gradually with quality components... The good news is I am starting from scratch save the receiver which is an Onkyo 605. I listen to Electronica, Rock, New Age... Oh and I am trying to stay in the $500-$900 range for the mains. I appreciate your input

Considerations:

1. The Sierra 1's (Would love to hear these!)
a. CMT-340's or 170's (could start with these then move them to rear.)
2. Paradigm Studio 20's
3. NHT Classic 3 (close out deals)
4. Canton ERGO 603 (close out deal)

I would love to audition the Ascend products and I am really leaning towards the sierras but I would like to listen to them before I pull the trigger. I am in Denver so if you live any where within a reasonable drive I would love to hear them.

Hopefully something in your area will come through.

One word of advice, unless you plan on buying all your speakers at once, I don't think it would be a good idea to start with a pair of close out speakers. You have no guarantee that you will be able to get matching speakers down the road.
