Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?

I'm sorry for Norm (TBG) everyone. He has an ax to grid from another thread and brought it here.

I am sorry that Buda lack the conceptual powers to understand what I said above and like many of my freshmen students has received a poor grounding in English.

How good are they, For 2 years I used Micro Utopia, about a month ago a I got Adagio JR. They have totally blown me away, the ribbon tweeter is AMAZING, They image better, have way more low level detail, throw out a much better 3-D soundstage. The Bass is tighter and cleaner, and sooo smooth , the music just flows. I cant say enough good about them. They are truly the best deal in high end audio. They retail for 1/2 of the Mirco Utopia BE and Kill them in every area possible. Robert Lee is a master when it comes to speaker design and I have a completely unlimited budget and I cant find anything I like better. They just do everything RIGHT. But a Pair now either the Jr's or the Full Size and you will never ever regret it. They are the most amazing speakers I've ever heard, and I've listened to almost everything out there.

As great as they sound, I discovered that the Jrs don't defy gravity. Yeah, I accidentally knocked one off the stand while moving another piece of gear. The cabinet took the fall on to the carpeted floor great - not a scratch, but the driver baffles were crunched as they met the leg of a nearby table. Since I live only a couple of hours away in LA, I called the factory and Robert said he'd take care of it. As soon as I walked in the door the next day, he had his crew working on it immediately. Robert couldn't have been a better host while I waited. So, besides the Adagio being a terrific speaker, I learned that there's top notch customer service behind it. The speaker is as good as new. Great speaker/great company. (My pair has the cross-over mod by Response Audio in N.Y. and their driven by a 35w p/p amp.)

Steakster,

I second your thoughts on AZ's customer service. I can't say enough good things about Robert and his son. They are top notch and really take care of their customers. It is very refreshing to see a company (regardless of the industry) looking to build relationships and not just looking for the quick sale. They bonus is they have great products.
