Travails of Adagio burn-in...include tweeters?
Yes, just to clarify. This isn't a problem caused by Acoustic Zen. I purchased these here on Audiogon second hand. I'm sure that they were fine before they were shipped as they are nearly new and the guy who sold them to me has a good reputation h... 
which is your favorite inexpensive stereo system?
I like an old Dynaco with the Welborne mods...put it with some Sequerra Met VI mark IIs and it is right nice! 
Outriggers: Soundocity only game in town?
I'm using Acoustic zen Adagio...Thus Soundocity... I may just bite the bullet... 
Best single-malt Scotch...
ah yes, lagavulin...think i'll have one come to think of it! 
Two years on...AZ Adagios still quality performer?
Thanks for the response...most encouraging. I agree...I would be priced out of the market if it wasn't for the gentlemen in China. Certainly great stuff can be had from there....but alot of junk too. T 
Two years on...AZ Adagios still quality performer?
David, I agree with you...just wanted to be sure... ...I'll tell you why i'm scratching my head. Seems like even dealers these days are selling these speakers at much reduced prices. The original price on a pair of Adagioss was $4300, but I"m seei... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio Floorstanders vs. Adagio Jrs
Ballhog, How did the adagios compare to your Ninas? (just took a look at your review.... )I've considered others like Cain, cardersound, omega..etc...I just heard that the adagios can take relatively low watt amplification...wanted to use them wit... 
Review: Cardersound Tybone Speaker
Ok, so now try them with an Almarro A318B. 
Is there a very nice SS amp around 1K?
Bryston made some nice ones. 
Speaker Choice for Almarro 318B
Yeah, I am mostly Jazz/folk/blues/orchestral.... some rock though.I checked the prices on the Sequerra MK6...there seems to be a retailer for the Sequerra stuff who lists the price at $1500 per pair. Then I go to Dick's own website and it lists fa... 
Integrated thingy
Oh and check out the Muic Hall stuff. I heard it not long ago at Promusica in chicago. Not bad. I still prefer my Linn Classik, but the Music Hall was pretty good. 
Speaker Choice for Almarro 318B
Oh and one more thing... The Sequerra's (I think) are rated at 89db sensitive. That really shouldn't matter though.. I used mine with a Sofia Electric Music Baby which only puts out 10 watts and it drives them just fine. The Almarro has more watts... 
Speaker Choice for Almarro 318B
Yeah, I use my Sequerra Mk4s with an ACI force XL sub. It took some fine tuning to get it right (I underestimated the difficulty of mating the sub with monitors) using an SPL meter, but I think it sounds pretty nice now. Getting placement and phas... 
Speaker Choice for Almarro 318B
I think that you'd be surprised if you heard the Sequerra MET 7.7 mk 6. Tellig reviewed in Sterophile not long ago. It's a design that's been around for many many years...and for that reason, I think its fallen off the radar of many of the present... 
Looking for the "better sub"
Another guy Mvoulu or something like that...asked this quesiton in another thread...got these same players (REL, MJ, Vandy,) and ultimately went with a pair of the ACI Force XL. I have an ACI and I think it represents pretty good value for the mon...
