Hello Teajay,
It was great meeting you, too. When I got home and hooked up the Adagios they sounded good, but not a vast improvement over my Klipsch RF-83s. I was a little frustrated because I heard the Adagios and thought they were awesome. Well to make a long story short I called Acoustic Zen and talked to Mr. Lee (what a gentleman). He asked me how far apart my speakers were and I told him about 8 ½. He said to move them closer. With a little playing and listening, they ended up just inside 7 apart and 40 from the wall and a slight toe in. I also attached the outriggers. Now, all I can say is wow! Wow!
Teajay, you were spot on with the Klipsch. I definitely love them, but part of what I like about them is the slam. They sound great, and the sheer power is almost addictive. But the Adagios bring definition, clarity, soundstage, that I have never had in a speaker. They will definitely be staying for a while. I mentioned when I was there that I get concerned when reviewers use too much hyperbole. But I have to say, for the price I paid for the Adagios, hyperbole seelms spot on. The sound is breathtaking.
I have also decided when my piggy bank fills up again I am going on the hunt for a couple subs. I will let you know how that goes
If you ever get up Holland way, give me a shout.
Thanks all for the comments,
Chip
