Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?

>but dealer moved me to a room with some Analysis planars<

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

>I plan on an audition of these speakers paired against the VR4 Sr's which the dealer told me would out class the Zens.<

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?

Just because someone sells a speaker doesn't mean it's not any good. Using your reasoning would indicate that all speakers for sale on Audiogon involve some sort of hype. There are many reasons for selling a speaker.

Thanks for pointing this out, Royy. I am going after a pair.
