Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?

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.

I didn't go to the showroom to listen to the AZ Adagio Ozzy62. The AZ's were in a hallway with the VR4 Sr's therefore I planned an audition at a later date comparing the 2. Just because a speaker cost twice as much doesn't always translate into twice the sound. It would be "sheepish" to think so. I've read the reviews and seen them in person. I'll post a followup DRseid after the audition.

And yes I'm gonna give the smaller Analysis planars another listen!

>Just because a speaker cost twice as much doesn't always translate into twice the sound.<

My point exactly. I wasn't all that impressed with the VR4 Sr. when it was only 8K, and unless it is VERY improved in it's new iteration, I think it offers poor value for the $$ at 12K. So I wouldn't be surprised if the Adagio was better.
