Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?

I think Pjl2122 said it best. Synergy. I have run my Adagios (Golden Burl) with a Dared VP-845 (22wpc) and a Cayin TA-30 with a AES DJH preamp and they sing. Not just sing, but SING! It's hard to place my thumb on it. They are just balanced and integrate well with the system. I did notice they are sensitive to changes in the rest of the system. I actually like the fact that I can easily tell weather or not a tweak or tube change is working. The finish is outstanding. I thought I had as good as it gets with my Dali Helicon 400s. The Adagios are simply georgeous. Even my wife loves them. Even though I love my Dalis, I wound up moving the them to the pool room system. I did have a little trouble with 1 tweeter during breakin but one call to my local dealer had Robert and his son repeatedly contacting me until the issue was more than taken care of. The customer service level is outstanding!!!! I have owned Thiels and thought their service was outstanding. Robert is every bit their pier!

Unless you have a stormy relationship with your Adagios, the word you want is whether not weather.

Except for the fact that I agree with you on the Adagios, I would be tempted to suggest you are inconsistent in your views. You dismiss the possibility that the Teleportation tweak works but you tried the Adagios even though there is little reason, from your point-of-view that their's is not just a sales pitch to get you to buy them. That all speakers sound the same.

I'm sorry for Norm (TBG) everyone. He has an ax to grid from another thread and brought it here.

I am sorry that Buda lack the conceptual powers to understand what I said above and like many of my freshmen students has received a poor grounding in English.

How good are they, For 2 years I used Micro Utopia, about a month ago a I got Adagio JR. They have totally blown me away, the ribbon tweeter is AMAZING, They image better, have way more low level detail, throw out a much better 3-D soundstage. The Bass is tighter and cleaner, and sooo smooth , the music just flows. I cant say enough good about them. They are truly the best deal in high end audio. They retail for 1/2 of the Mirco Utopia BE and Kill them in every area possible. Robert Lee is a master when it comes to speaker design and I have a completely unlimited budget and I cant find anything I like better. They just do everything RIGHT. But a Pair now either the Jr's or the Full Size and you will never ever regret it. They are the most amazing speakers I've ever heard, and I've listened to almost everything out there.
