Also, still confused about the number of bores. He said Zeus adel would have 5 bores, but the website lists 4.

I'm guessing the Zeus has four sound bores, and one bore specifically for the ADEL module.

It's actually 5 bores. I think that was Zeus before ADEL time.

The Zeus ADEL features 5 bores and you can add 1 extra bore for every Empire ADEL variant. The website is now live but there's still a few things we're working out (specs, Universal builder, etc). We'll address them in the coming days and feedback is always welcome. The move definitely consumed our weekend so I apologize about the delays. Everything will be back to normal by Monday!

Housings look not small enough for 2017. 
 
How much % bigger Zeus R Adel is compared to Zeus R, if you could trust your memory?

A few things to keep in mind, Universal fit shell will always be bigger than Custom fit, so it's not a fair comparison, even by memory.  The Custom Zeus-R was shorter and also wider, filling out the inner part of my concha area.  Universal Zues XR Adel is noticeably narrower and also deeper.  Keep in mind, now you are adding ADEL module so need more depth for the barrel of that module, and extra margin for "universal" part of the shell design.  Also, this is XR design with a switch to go between XIV and R crossover.
 
So, we still go 14 drivers and now added ADEL module, a switch, and dual crossover, and went from a custom fit shell to a universal narrower shell.  Taking all these factors into consideration it's fair to say the size is very reasonable, imho.

Empire Ears and Black Friday. Does this ring any bell to anybody?

 

[isuperfish]

would they have any promotion?

Yes, Empire always has considerably generous promotions on Black Friday. Music Sanctuary here in Singapore has already announced their discounted prices. I also believe someone here already quoted a 20%-off-non-ADEL customs from Jack.

The ADEL line will definitely be featured in our annual Black Friday sale. As of right now the target is 20% off of non-ADEL models and 15% off of the all-new ADEL models.

@Kozato placed his order but we just received the new aluminum CNC ADEL sleeves so production began a little later than anticipated. Music Sanctuary will for sure have the XR ADEL available to audition in Singapore within the next 1-2 weeks.
