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.

>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.

Lighten up guys. I can find nowhere that he said they WERE made in China. He just asked IF they were made in China. I realize you guys are proud of your speakers, but aren't you being a little hard on someone asking an honest question?

Tboooe,

If what you describe is indeed how they sound and not room anomolies, I don't think these are speakers I would want in my system. A home audition would definitely be a must.
