adagios vs veenas


Anyone familiar with Acoustic Zen Adagios vs Reference 3A Grand Veenas?I own the Adagio and am considering the Grand Veenas in a 12x16 room.

I haven't heard the Adagios, but it's hard to go wrong with the GV. They do everything across the board pretty good, and are very special at some things. But most importantly they convey the gestalt of the music.

I assure you that you won't lose any coherence with the GV. I came from Green Mountain Audio speakers that specialize in time/phase coherence loudspeakers and the Grand Veena is at the very least their equal in that regard.

I had my Grand Veenas in a room very similar to your larger room and they worked great. That room would be my choice.

I have gone down the high efficiency rabbit hole and I like it. I started with a pair of Klipsch Cornwal ls and they showed me what is possible. I now have a pair of Bob Crites Cornscalas and am very happy with these.

I changed my amp from a VTL ST-150 to a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos. The Cornscalas need very little power. I will likely try an SET at some point, I think 10-15 watts is plenty.

I think tubes will be best. They are an easy load and sound great with tubes.

I think the VTL is a fine amp. I am not much on class d amps, I bet the VTL wins the day.
