Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?

I heard them today, at the local dealer.
They are amazing!!!
Smooth, fully detailed, strong bass, great stage, pure magic!
On the down side, the mid seems a litle backward. and they look like %$#@...:-)
I certainly am going to audition them at my home.
Currently running Focal 926, which are pure garbage in comparison...

I don't agree they look %$@, even my wife quite likes them and she was an interior designer. I should say she "quite" likes them, probably just relieved I did'nt buy anything worse.

It's a matter of taste of course.
To me, Focal 1027 look better (but dont sound as sweet).
And I am an industrial designer...

2100, Am I to understand that you are also using the Almarro with another speaker? Say of a 93dB?

I too found that the Almarro changed in a good way when upgrading the caps. Even the little 205A showed a beneficial change (in my opinion) when changing to Teflon caps. I have been using the V-Caps in these amps for some time. More noticable in the 205A was also going with a slightly higher value. This was more dependant on the speakers being paired with the amp.

The Adagio speakers are, in my opinion, and exceptional performer. I do not have much experience with them being driven by solid state but with tube, you are emotionally connected with the music.

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,
