Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?


Just read the glowing review in TAS. Has enyone heard these and if so is all the positive press justified?

What house sound do the Adagios fall in?

Are the Adagios a warm, sultry type more audiophile type sound or are they detailed and dynamic.

Cheers,

I heard them briefly there as well Tvad....but it was show environment so wasn't paying too much attention and I wasn't in the sweet spot. I know Paul Bolin in the room was raving...on the same music I brought it---Zero 7.

Phil @ Sonic Spirits in NJ says the Adagios are very different from my former Wilson Sophias---which i would define as "detailed, clear and relatively neutral."

Hence my conundrum...i would like to hear them somewhere out in LA. Upscale has them, but that's an hour + drive to Upland with no traffic :) They seem relatively efficient and amplifier flexibility is key to me---care to contrast them with Zu Druids for me? I don't want to create a stir so feel free to email me offline...

Audphile1- i'm not saying they will. New living circumstances made me sell the Sophias. I'm looking for something smaller and cheaper for awhile.

Tvad- I was going to do that, just taking the CFA tomorrow so I haven't really started my search. I'm going to take some time and hear a bunch of stuff. I haven't been out to hear speakers in years. I might see if I can go down the AZ factory even as its in SoCal.
Audphile1-

Thanks for the suggestion--my focus has been to go in the more high efficiency route and the Mani 2s aren't in that direction.

I have owned Dyns in the past and always have liked them too!
