Adam Audio A7X 100 W 2-Way, Wired, XLR, 42 to 50000 Hz Loudspeaker (Black)

I had been waffling with the idea of getting a pair of really nice nearfield monitors for a very long time, probably nearly 10 years. I remember the first time I heard a pair of Mackie HR824s I was hooked. I've been longing to get a pair forever. When I finally thought about doing it a few years ago, I searched for reviews and comparisons and found these commonly compared to the Mackies, frequently favorably. I'm not going to lie, I never went and did a direct shootout to hear the difference with the Mackies. After a lot of reading I finally came to the conclusion that these were better for me. I have a quite small (10x15) room where these sit and they're only 3-4' from me. In small room tests, every review I read came out in favor of these. In a music store the Mackies may have sounded better, but most people liked these for smaller rooms. So I took them at their word and clicked order.I'm coming from a pair of Yamaha MSP5s. The MSP5s were pretty adequate. I did some mixing and audio production on them, but they're also my main displays for everything from gaming to listening to music while working on non-musical tasks. I had real problems with mixes done on the MSP5s sounding wrong on other speakers.Sometimes tinny, sometimes bass heavy, always flat. Shooting the A7X next to those is like getting out of a Ferrari and into a Volkswagon. It's just an entirely different caliber experience.How? Both are capable of putting out really amble bass in the room where I listen. The biggest difference is in bass resolution. Below 120Hz or so the Yamahas get muddy. They make the sound, they get some energy into it, but they just drone. You may not notice it until you get something capable of actually resolving in those frequencies. The A7X are much cleaner. Even in low frequencies they have a crisp and clear sound response.There's something I can't really quantify about the new speakers too. Imaging is incredible. The sound field I find myself in is really wide, and incredibly immersive. I don't feel like I'm listening to speakers, they really vanish behind their own power. It's really amazing. The other thing is fatigue. This one I don't understand that well either, but I've definitely noticed that I get fatigued listening carefully for long periods of time on any lower quality display, whereas on great displays that fatigue takes much longer to set in. I've get to get truly fatigued on these displays, which probably means I simply haven't had a long enough session with them, but for 8 straight hours I can listen with no problems.Are these the best speakers in their price category? Who knows. I didn't take the time to shoot them against Mackies and Genelec or any of the other major nearfield names. However after waiting to get really good nearfields for 10 years and working on middle-range nearfields, the difference is night and day. The sound is cleaner. Simply cleaner. So very clean. You will read reviews where people say they heard things in music they've never heard before. It's true. I hear things in music I wrote that I never heard in the recording on my old monitors. The A7X is incredible.Shoot it against your favorite brand if you want to tweak every parameter, but for clarity in small rooms these things absolutely do everything I could ask and more.

Habe die Lautsprecher als Ersatz für meine TASCAM VL-X5 gekauft.Einen über Amazon und den anderen über ein bekanntes Auktionshaus.Hatte die Adam schon lange auf dem Schirm, und da ich jetzt 2 günstige Angebote gefunden habemusste ich einfach zuschlagen.Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Der Klang ist einfach ein Traum.Testweise mal im Wohnzimmer am TV eingesetzt, da habe ich aktuell 2 Edirol MA-15D zusammen mit einem Teac Subwoofer, und auch da machen die Adam eine gute Figur.Werde wohl noch einmal zuschlagen müssen wenn ein passendes Angebot kommt.Fürs Wohnzimmer dann aber wahrscheinlich 2 A5X zusammen mit dem Sub 8 (u.A. wegen der Lautstärkeregelung).Die A7X stehen bei mir auf Adam Hall PAD ECO 2 Stands.Erstens wegen einer leichte Neigung nach unten und zweitens um Einkopplungen und Störgeräusche im Regalboden zu vermeiden .

The best near field monitors I have ever personally experienced, and it's really no contest. Whatever the sound engineer allows you to hear in ANY recording is what you get. The neutral and transparent clarity shows off every nuance of the original tracking and mix. Their (Adam Audio) Sub10 Mk2 is next. You will never regret the $$$. And in the world of high end monitors they are, in reality, far from pricey. They have taken my music appreciation to a couplea next levels.

I got these German active nearfield monitor a week ago, and I'd like to say something about this.first of all people who want buy these speakers should have a full balance designed DAC and preamp. Although it do have volume concord unit on front panel, but it doesn't work well. The other thing is these speakers only can tell you truth. If you don't got a good source yet, I suggest you really think about your buying.But make no mistakes thay are very good speakers.

So so
