Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?

I am going to check out the Adagios at the AZ factory this Friday at the invitation of Robert Lee himself! I am pretty excited! I will report back with what I hear.

Tboooe: That's excellent! I'm a little jealous and look forward to hearing about it.

Tbg: I spent most of my time listening to the new Pioneer speakers, the LSA Model 10s in the Walker suite..the Evolution speakers, the Zu suite...

I'd be interested in a capsule review of the speakers you heard, in particular LSA and Zu. Too bad you missed AZ's.

I too found and enjoyed the Adagio's in three rooms at RMAF this last weekend -- the Modwright & AZ room (1010), the Triode room (1121) and the BPT room (9025). I thought the BPT demo tunes (another delightful, free CD) sounded particularly nice on the Adagio's, even in the less than optimum room acoustics of a show environment.

Dan and Robert were a little chagrined to discover mid-show that there was a signal phase anomoly in one of the Response Audio modified tube power amps (100wpc I believe) which, when corrected, snapped the sound in their room into some of the best at the show (IMHO). Great lesson there -- when in doubt, ignore your eyes and trust your ears!

Cheers,

Sorry about the phase issue. I was startled to hear about this. The request for amplifiers at this year's show was short notice for us and I had only a few days to get things shipped out to ModWright. At least they were in excellent hands at the show and this was noticed easily with teh educated ears that were running the room.

Thank you for those words.
