Acoustic Zen Adagio Speakers?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my thread. Let me be very clear, I'm not looking to get rid of my Merlins. However, the overwhelming reviews, wether professionals or private users, have awaken my curiosity and would very much like to audition them and see what the hubbub is all about.

Once in a while, I like to audition whatever else is out there.

Certainly didn't intend to turn this thread into a war among AZ fans, was simply looking to audition them. However, I can appreciate your passion, and I'm certainly going to do my best to audition them!
I have been in touch with a local dealer who briefly had the Adagio set up in his house, but unfortunately sold them before I had the chance to hear them.

Perhaps one day, I'll get that chance. Thank you all, your inputs are duly noted.

I'm not trading anything away, like you, I want to experience the Zen experience. Those speakers have received tremendous accolades from professionals, and private owners.
Just need to satisfy my curiosity.

To trade in my MX, would mean to start all over again! Everything in my system, is catered to them.

Mjmch2003,

The best I've used. They are also implemented in my amp, the ARS Sonum Filarmonia. Simply, a single knob tightens both leads of the connected cable at the same time, without tools. Works best with spades.

Gopher,

I have been in touch with Neil, and I've been to his place twice to listen to I believe a pair of Sonist speakers.
Real nice guy.
