JansZen Z A2.1 Loudspeakers?

I purchased my pair of A2.1's about three months ago after first hearing them at a friends home. I have been in this hobby for about 30 years and have owned B&W, Avalon, Krell and Revel. I went for an audition and within 15 minutes of listening I was hooked. I knew that I had found the speaker I had been looking for for 30 years. Do yourself a favor and try finding somewhere to audition these awesome performers. They are sold factory direct so you will have to contact David Janszen. I am using a Nad M-3e and am now waiting for a Modwright KWI-200. I'll be pretty disappointed if it turns out I like the Nad better. The Nad Is a pretty amazing integrated for the money.

Hi Seadogs1, I've been in this hobby for decades. I never counted the number of speakers I've owned but there have been many, and of various design configurations. That included Acoustat 2+2 and M-L CLS full range ESL and Infinity and RTR with electrostatic tweeters.

I recently bought a pair of zA2.1s and am going through the break-in. I will also be searching for a matching amp within certain criteria important to me.

They were over my budget so here is why I bought them. Our local audio club arranged for a pair to audition. During that demo I could hear great promise but was not fully satisfied. Fortunately I was able to bring the demo pair home for a few days and a personal audition. Whether it was the room or the matching components (or both) I'm not certain but I was hugely impressed. Several friends came by to hear them and the raves were universal. One friend with years of experience as an audio hobbyist plus recording both classical and jazz came by and offered the most succinct review I've ever heard. After only a couple of minutes listening he paused the music and said, "Just get out your checkbook." That was encouraging but I'd already made up my mind.

I will not go into my impressions of their sonic details now, that will await their full burn-in and set up adjustments, at which time I'll post a review here.

At this point I'll simply encourage you to hear them for yourself.

Mrbill, Pryso (or anyone else), any further follow-up thoughts on these speakers after break-in? Heard them at RMAF and remain intrigued......and I really miss my Acoustats but room is a bit too small for these. Would welcome any further comments and/or bang-for-buck impressions on these stats.
