Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?


Just read the glowing review in TAS. Has enyone heard these and if so is all the positive press justified?

I bought a pair recently after listening to many different brands ranging from $3,500-$25,000 and everytime I play these now I am still just blown away at how clean, natural, quick, and detailed these are while projecting a broad deep stage. We toyed around with cables and speaker wire the other day and that does make a real difference. My set up now is really just about as good as you can get things I think. I'm running the Musical Fidelity KW250S integrated amp with a JPS Kaptavator power cord and crystal speaker cables. I would like to see how all Acoustic Zen power cord and cables sound withthis set up but things right now seem so good it is hard to tamper with. Highly recommend these speakers to anyone considering!!!
Got em recently and absolutely love them!!!! No flaws. Running with Musical Fidelity KW250S which is a great amp for these speakers. Had looked at many speakers and could not be happier with the Adagio's. Personally I felt they beat out: Dali M5, Vandersteen, B&W, Sonus Faber, Vienna Acoustic, Acoustic Physics, Revel, Magnapan, Theil, and Harbeth which I had considered before selecting the Acoustic Zens. Could not more pleased with performance of these in every aspect!!!
Best value on the diminishing return curve!!! In other words you can get about as good as it gets (maybe some are slightly better here or there) but paying more money seems a real waste in my opinion as these speakers do it all really really well. Very happy with the Adagio!!!
Your making robert very happy connor,i can appreciate your enthusiasom.I am also finding them a really great speaker.With the sim gear,its all pretty much there leaving little to want for.Are they for everybody?Im with you dude there great!very happy with them.
Let me tell you guys ,the Adagios sound equally well with Solid State ,My whole system is modified with Bybee purifiers to start things right ,The Adagios Love my Edge G-4amp ,along with the excellent Modwright preamp with the latest mods,and a super tricked out Consonance cdp
and of course with Mr lees Hologram speaker cables ,
and Silver Reference interconnects,through a 609 Furetech line box
and Zen Tsnami power cords ,this System floats through air
it destroys any system I have ever heard at 2x it's reasonable price
as many have been witness to, system Synergy is the answer!
