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?

I would have liked to audition these speakers but dealer moved me to a room with some Analysis planars which sounded awesome but not quite right with the equipment he had them paired with. I was interested in the VR4 Sr's which also weren't setup sitting in a hallway with the Acoustic Zens. I'll tell you something, these speakers looked very impressive. I plan on an audition of these speakers paired against the VR4 Sr's which the dealer told me would out class the Zens. The comments I've read here have me even more intrigued.

Are you a sheep to be herded against your will? If you went to hear a particular speaker, why didn't you hear it?

Ok, you are talking $12K against $4.3K. It should be a given. I haven't heard the Adagios but I have heard the Sr.s. You might be surprised at the outcome.

It will be interesting to hear your experience Dsalvo55 when you hear the Adagios versus the SRs side by side... I did that when I auditioned the Adagios, and they easily were my choice of the two (on Cary solid state gear at least). For some reason the SRs have never clicked with me, and that is strange as I love VS speakers in general. Go figure...

This speaker just came out. If it's that good, how come there are too many for sale here in Audiogon already? Is this another hype?
