… as well as the Acoustic Zen line of cables (which we have been recommending for years – even though they are not quite in the stratospheric, some might say astronomical :-), price range as the cables we generally prefer here).
But the Adagios are not just a good value, they are an exceptional value. We believe them to be a high-end loudspeaker at a lower mid-fi price of $4300
We have a number of customers (and fans) who get a little short of breath (or their significant others do :-)) when they think about purchasing $50K speakers.
We will also be getting in, hopefully in the near future, the $12K or so Marten Design Miles III and Kharma 3.1c loudspeakers – which are also near-full-range like the Adagios.
And of course there are the Audio Note U.K. loudspeakers at these price ranges for those who just want a speaker to sound good š
All of these speakers we have heard either many times or for many hours – and they have our full respect and we have recommended them many times.
Although we specialize in the ultimate cost-no-object high-end audio system, we really do try to help people with systems in all price ranges.
I guess what all this means is that people who actually make it to the store here will soon get a chance to hear that there are a few bargains out there (a very few) and that in the end you get what you pay for – but there can be happiness, satisfaction and pride-of-ownership at every price range.
You just need to stay away from the crap and the glitter and the over-hyped junk.
Just to give y’all out there some perspective, we will soon have loudspeakers here at AF that are $250K, $145K (on sale, somebody buy these now please :-), $55K, $50K, $40K, $33K and now…. $4K.
OK, a picture of the Adagio speakers similar to the ones we will be getting in a few days.
