Thanks Raks, I almost bought the Adagios before so they are a consideration. I did not mention that I need single wire speakers as I currently have AZ Satori single wire. If biwiring is not a prerequisite for great sound, a biwire speaker will work. But if biwiring the speaker is required for it to sing, it's a no go.
Looking for Almost Full Range Speakers
Suggestions would be helpful in the Used less than $3500 price range with the following:
1. no leanness- (weighty and full required)
2. no upper roll off- crisp, clear, crystalline, clean top end both Highs and Mids- a very "live" sound and presence
3. detailed mids/ midbass w/ presence
4. slam, weight-impact in low end down to at least 30hz - but the lower the better
5. transparent and resolved
6. can be satisfying at low or moderatly high volmes
7. around 100 lbs per speaker- my back won't take much more
room is 12X18X8 rectangular and stuffed family room
musical preferences: classic jazz, r&b. Speakers are to be used with a solid state integrated at 160 watts into 8 ohms and with tubed sources. Lots of choices in the classifieds- Hyperion, Tyler, Von Schweikert, Thiel, Dali, Acoutic Zen, Dynaudio, Selah?
Won't get to audition- help with a short list would be great.
Thanks,
Foster
