I am mostly happy with mine. Mine are four months old. Sometimes they sound extremely good, they never sound less than very good, but rarely am I in sonic bliss. I am not getting the degree of imaging I used to get with my standmounted minimonitors-B+W Matrix 805s (which were hardly the last word in imaging themselves).
Not to hi-jack this thread, but fellow Adagio owners, please look at your speaker binding posts and tell me-please-if your binding posts are "mirrored" as is virtually standard on most speakers. Mine are not. My Adagios have matching serial numbers-000870A annd B and yet my positive post is on the right side of each speaker (as I look from the back as if attaching the speaker cable) and the negative is on the left. Again, every other modern speaker I have owned sold in matched sets have had "mirrored" posts such that the positive is on the inside of each speaker etc. I ask because I don't want my speakers to be out of phase with each other. Yes, I have an ancient Stereophile test disc somewhere, but even if I could find it I always found it very hard to use. I SUSPECT these speakers are not really "matched sets" in that the serial numbers are simply tacked on at the end of production and before shipping rather than being manufactured to match each other. My humble B+W 805s came with spec sheets showing that they were a matched pair with similar frequency response. For better or worse, I don't think any such matching takes place in San Diego where these are put together from Chinese parts by Mr. Lee.
