Opinions of people who have OWNED Adagio's


I'd like to hear from people who have actually owned Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers. They're on my short list for auditioning. I've got a Unico SE integrated (140w) and Cairn Fog v3 cd player.
Thanks.

I have been living with my Acoustic Zen Adagio for the past 1 year and couldn't be happier.My advise to you though ,is to change the stock spikes to Finite Elemente Cerebase.The results are just astounding!!!I think it is a must for all ADAGIO owners.I use A COPLAND CDA289 for my digital front,and replaced my simaudioi-7 with NEODIO 150.I think the Unico will do just fine,and Your CDP is actually quite impressive.In Short,you won't go wrong and I urge you to at least audition the Cerabase,you will know what I mean
Digsmithd,Thanks for your interest.I noticed after the first month of having the Adagio,The notes and the bass are not as clean as I've hoped them to be.Put your hand on top of the Adagio,you will noticed there are plenty of cabinet vibrations.having tried various configurations of suppots,I decided to get the Finite Elemente CERAPUC .To say my jaw dropped was an understatement.Havind seen the rwsults I've decided to move up to CERABASe and I got further improvements.

The soundstage becomes superwide.Separations of instruments are clearly heard,the bass becomes so gorgeous.But to me the ultime improvement is in female Vocals.Try Listening to Eva Cassidy with and without The CERABASE;you wouldn't think that it is the same speaker that you are listening too.

I believe It might be true too with other type of resonance controlled feet like Alto-extremo,or the likes but I hanven't auditioned them.I urge every ADAGIO owners to try the feet ,though.IT changed my life{And save me lots of money on unnecessary upgrades actully...]that I feel that I should spread the word aroud.

I bought the CERAPUC here on A'gon but the CERABASE were bought from my local dealer in Malaysia.

Digsmithd,sorry to write such a long answer to a very short querry...
