devAAudio Kansas City is a high-end audio dealer in Lenexa, in the greater Kansas City area, built around private, appointment-only listening sessions rather than a walk-in showroom. Founded by Dr. Deva Chandramohan, a practicing radiologist and audio enthusiast of more than 25 years, devAAudio Kansas City pairs a curated brand roster with hands-on system design for buyers moving from a first serious system to a complete high-performance build.

A Roster Built Around Signature Relationships

The devAAudio Kansas City portfolio centers on three signature relationships: Magico for loudspeakers, Dan D’Agostino for electronics, and Shunyata Research, where devAAudio is an authorized online retailer for power and cable solutions. The wider brand list adds KEF, Franco Serblin, Accuphase, Audio Research, Bluesound, JL Audio, and NAD, giving devAAudio Kansas City a spread from wireless-friendly systems to reference-level separates that can be auditioned side by side before a buyer commits to a full system.

Judgment, Matching, and Careful Listening

devAAudio frames its role as more than selling components: the site describes system building as “the result of judgment, matching, placement, and careful listening,” with the dealer bringing those decisions together from focused upgrades to complete high-performance systems. Co-founder Dr. Megha Chandramohan, a practicing pediatrician and Bollywood choreographer, contributes to budgeting, vendor relationships, and the visual side of system integration, while integration partner Ryan Anderson of Elevated Electronics supports the installation side of larger projects, from dedicated listening rooms to whole-home builds.

Demo and Pre-Owned Equipment

Alongside new products from its Magico S-Series and other signature lines, devAAudio Kansas City runs a demo and pre-owned store carrying equipment such as Audio Research preamplifiers and Wilson Audio loudspeakers, giving buyers a lower-cost path into reference-level gear that has already been used and evaluated in the showroom itself. That demo inventory doubles as a way for prospective buyers to hear exactly what they would be purchasing, rather than relying on specifications alone.

Pricing and availability

devAAudio Kansas City operates by appointment only from its Lenexa location, with private listening sessions and system design available through devaaudio.com; pricing depends entirely on the system and components selected, from single-component upgrades to full-room builds spanning multiple signature brands.

Key specifications

  • Location: Lenexa, greater Kansas City area, by appointment only
  • Signature brands: Magico, Dan D’Agostino, Shunyata Research (authorized online retailer)
  • Wider roster: KEF, Franco Serblin, Accuphase, Audio Research, Bluesound, JL Audio, NAD
  • Services: system design, component matching, private auditions, demo and pre-owned equipment
  • Founded by: Dr. Deva Chandramohan, nearly a decade in business

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
