Update....It's been almost 2 weeks. Now we are talking!!!! These Adagio speakers finally gave in to a break in process. Everything smoothed out. Balance is very good with no specific frequency that stands out. Bass is tight, deep. Highs are smooth. Mids are juicy. Placement hasn't been changed much(I think) but the break in of the speakers definately went well. Image is dead center, everything else evenly layed out in the soundstage. Nice, deep stage for speaker of this size and price. I actually could not beleive the improvement since the last time I visited. It's almost like a totally different pair of speakers comparing to the way they sounded last time! Definately a huge bargain at $3700. Phil's got a new transport now - Oracle CDT1000. Landed on his shelf directly from outer space. This thing looks cool. Sounds just as good as it looks. Digital cable was AZ Silver Bytes between the CDT1000 and Dodson 218. Very nice sound. Properly set up with right components up stream, these speakers can really sing. Even with Squeezbox2 into the Dodson using the Silver Bytes digital cable, the sound of the system was impressive. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend these speakers to anyone based on what I heard today. So, here goes the follow up. Once more it prooves that it is important to let the components break in before judging how they sound. I definately liked what I heard today.
