East Street Audio adds Acoustic Zen!

[woofersus]

Hey everybody, Craig has graciously allowed me to make this announcement here. As you all probably know by now, I started East Street Audio a few months back when I joined the Onix team as the dealer for Ohio, Kentucky, & West Virginia. I'm still actively working with that team to rebuild the Onix brand, but I've added another product line.

At RMAF there were lots of nice toys, but one of my favorites were in the Acoustic Zen room. I contacted owner Robert Lee after the show and we've struck a deal. Acoustic Zen is not available online elsewhere. Their products are generally only available at brick and mortar stores, so this is an exciting opportunity for me. As long as I keep their stuff off of Ebay, Audiogon, etc. and generally avoid stepping on the other dealers' tows, he's agreed to let me sell them.

Here are some reviews of their speakers:

Crescendo Review on Positive Feedback

Adagio Review on The Ultimate Sound

Adagio Review on 6moons

Adagio Jr. review on 6moons

Feel free to ask any questions here, and check out my website as well to get a general idea of pricing. (everything listed is at MSRP right now) I will be having a "grand opening" sale on the Acoustic Zen gear as soon as I get everything else up on the site.

EDIT: The sale is ready to go. Use coupon code ZEN15 to get 15% off all Acoustic Zen speakers and ZEN20 for 20% off all Acoustic Zen cables. Cables will also have free shipping.

They sure do look pretty. I love the walnut burl.

Yeah, the walnut burl is the finish I saw in person at RMAF and it was very nice. So nice I wished the Crescendos didn't have the satin black front baffle.

Sale details added to original post...

EDIT: oops, just realized I actually saw the Mappa Burl at RMAF. The Ebony, Rosewood, and Walnut Burl veneers are all satin, and the Black Pearl, Figured Red, Golden Burl, and Mappa Burl finishes are Piano Gloss, btw.

I loved the Crescendo at the show. One of my favorites from RMAF.

I loved the Crescendo at the show. One of my favorites from RMAF.

It seemed like when I asked random people I met at the show "what's your favorite?" I got those as the answer 90% of the time. I realize $14k is a ton of money (I won't be bringing demos home soon) but the fact that they compared so favorably to so many speakers that were truly cost-no-object says something about their value to somebody looking in that price range. I don't know what the market is like for stuff in that price range, but from the reactions I was getting, it seemed like these are going to be on the short list for anybody spending that kind of $$$.

You should take a peek at the Positive Feedback review. Some over-the-top hyperbole perhaps, but he basically calls them the best ever. It doesn't get much more glowing without making up stories about magical healing abilities or time travel.

Congrats, Tim. That was my favorite demo room at RMAF.

Finally got the rest of the products up on the site. (except bulk cable rolls and jumpers) Talk about tedious and time consuming! Anyhow, it's all there now.

From Black Friday through Cyber Monday (last 4 days of the month) I'm increasing the discounts to 15% on speakers and 20% on cables.
