Hello Jayctoy,
just read your thread today. I too bought a pair of used Adamantes II three weeks ago. Really beautiful build quality, but more important : they sound absolutely gorgeous, very spacious, free of grain and the lows are very good in my 20m² room. In short, they're made for letting you enjoy the music, not evaluate it.
I live in Belgium, but I bought them in Holland where they're rather popular, mainly because the local Diapason-trader is doing a great job. I paid them 1375 Euro (about 1500$) included the 3P-stands. I already had the very best Partington-stands, but I can assure you that the Diapasons are really made for their dedicated stands, and do sound better on them. Just everything falls neatly into its place once the Ada's are on them.

Enjoy them and kind regards!

Alain,this speaker they do make music,very friendly,
I have not change a cable,Of course they are beautiful,
I believe now this are better than my quest,musically
speaking.The only problem they are very rare.
I have the II's and would say the following:

Also some suggestions.

They are more revealing than you think. Musical yes and very musical at that. But every time I have changed cables, pucks, cones tweaks, mats, etc. you can hear the difference.

Try this also - bybee filters at the tweater and woofer - inside the speaker - and it sounds great, even more detail and retains all of its depth and musicality. Also tilt them back about 1/2 inch or so. Try pointing them at the outside edges of your ears also.

These have been very nice inmprovements.
Scotty333 where can I get Bybee filters,Are they easy
to put, Do I need a solder for this?
Try Audionut.com for the bybees. Yes you will need solder for this. Radioshack has solder iron for 9 bucks or less plus 6 bucks for the better solder. It's not that difficult to do. The soldering is frnakly the easy part. Getting the speakers off of the cabinet was harder for me. the screws were really tough to get off the cabinet. Don's know why. IT was well worth the effort. More dynamic, better detail and smooth.
