Acoustic zen adagio jr for Rock music?


I am looking into a set of acoustic zen adagio jr speakers. Most of the reviews I see are for jazz or classical or acoustic music. Has anyone heard them with rock music?  I mainly listen to classic rock to 5 finger death punch on down. I have a small room that is 10X11 and currently using Dali Mentor 2, Joule LAP 150A preamp and McIntosh Mc402 amp. Would the adagio jr be an upgrade, or lateral?  Are they ok for near field ?


I am looking for close to the same top end as the Dali but smoother. The same wide sound that extends beyond the speaker ( helpful in a small room ) and a hair more bloom.

I'm an AZ dealer and I'd tell you look elsewhere. Sorry no further explanation.
As with many speakers, the AZ Adagio Jrs are only as good as the system that drives them. If you’re looking for a simple off-the-shelf solution, these speakers probably wouldn’t be a good choice for rock or death metal. For a similar price range, you might want to check out the Spatial Audio - Hologram series.

I purchased a new pair of AZ Adagio Jrs in 2007 - still have them. Since I live near and attend T.H.E. Show in Newport Beach every year, I’m able to compare. Many of the speakers in the showrooms are driven by $25K+ electronics and cabling. I’m still a happy camper. My system and speakers pretty much can handle whatever is thrown at them. It has amazing macro & micro dynamics. A kickdrum delivers a solid punch to the gut while offering a sparkling shimmer on the cymbals. But, it took a long while to achieve this sound presentation. Besides adding a quality powered sub, there has been much tweaking with cabling and power supplies - along with modded crossovers to the speakers themselves. Since I approached this process as a long-term hobby, the wait has been worth it.
