Some impressions from the 2007 RMAF:
Did anyone hear the new Acoustic Zen Crescendo loudspeaker at the RMAF? What was your impression? When I was there Sat afternoon, the sound was incredible. It is a 3-way full range, 20-30 kHz, uses underhung drivers for very low distortion (rare),... 
RMAF: My favorites, so-so's, and disappointments
Chaz801 - I think you may be talking about Micropure. That was amazing. 
RMAF: My favorites, so-so's, and disappointments
Excellent show this year. Many rooms dealt well with making their gear sound good in a hotel room.While there was very good to excellent sound coming out of Mbl, Gershman, Usher, Dali, and others, I am really surprised that no one has commented on... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
I have been puzzled that my kids, 18 & 21 would sit in front of their computers and listen to i-tunes through cheap computer speakers. Although I've had pricier speakers, when the Adagios went in, the kids and wife all mentioned, I have never ... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
Response 34: I'm driving my Adagios with an Art Audio PX25. It's huffing and puffing with 6 watts. But, in my small room (12.5' X 15.5') it sounds fantastic! There is a limit to SPL's with this setup, and I am shopping for more juice, but I have t... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
Tbg, when you say "the tube amp of unknown origin that was later put on them", are you talking about the amps used at this year's RMAF? I heard the Adagios at THE SHOW in Las Vegas last January using Red Dragon amps. I also heard it this year at R... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
Happy Halloween Tboooe! Enjoyed your post. I'm sure that the ModWright/Response/Acoustic Zen room at RMAF will generate a lot of really positive show reports. The room really sounded fantastic. If there was a weak link, whatever it was, even it so... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
Tboooe: That's excellent! I'm a little jealous and look forward to hearing about it. 
Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
Tbg: You said earlier that you didn't see Acoustic Zen speakers anywhere at RMAS, but you were in the BPT room twice. It's too bad they weren't playing music while you were in there, but the AZ Adagios were in that room in the new black finish. Ma... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
I went to the RMAS and heard the Adagio in all 3 rooms that had them,including both the Adagio and Adagio Monitor in Robert's room. I also own a pair of Adagios. All 3 rooms(Triode Corporation, Balanced Power Technologies, and Robert's AZ + ModWri... 
Madrigal cartridge loading?
Shaq,How long have you had the microgroove, and what is your opinion of it. Everything I've read about Tom Evans in 6 Moons sounds fantastic.Thanks, Ken 
New Acoustic Zen Adagio loudspeakers
Robert Lee was asked this very question while auditioning the Adagio at THE SHOW. His response was an emphatic yes. Certainly at 89 dB and 6 Ohm nominal impedence, it would be easily driven by many tube amps. 
Benchmark Dac1 pc?
I am waiting on my backordered DAC-1 to arrive, and I've ordered an Acoustic Zen Tsunami Plus for it. I have found that for source equipment, that is a nearly perfect cord.
