SOUNDS

The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
Okay, so there is a debate c virtually infinite, and it is time for me to admit that I am not a "pro" at the tops of the "pros" What I have two ears and bloody way of to be manic when choosing my equipment.
I will not get drunk with Chifra and diagrams + - doubtful puique, if you REALLY want to know the frequency curve of this stuff, you need a pair and objectively measure AC with a little matéiriel.
I&#39;ll try to be clear and specific as possible;)

So:
Yes and NO ... we feel that there is Bobosse and munchies here and there, BUT
comparison and after long discussions, no speaker is really totally neutral - understand, perfectly flat frequency response - and definitely, definitely not at this price!

So the term "sufficiently"
takes on its full value: yes, it is neutral enough to know that
specifically how often they bump, and be sure it will not delirious when we listen to his mixes on the stereo speakers.
The "color" to own Adam is noted mainly on three aspects:
1 and 2) the midrange and treble Treble are softened and do not you screaming in the ears and the same given the range of frequencies that cover these speakers and above all, accuracy in it!
But I do not consider this coloration as a problem, since it is nondestructive: Again, c is extremely precise and gentle is not marked by a hollow but mainly by the choice of technology to make adam, namely their "tapes"

The third point I note with regard to a possible level of staining is low ... Well ... AC hum eh, for 6 "and a half is impressive c, ca c is clear! So ... acoustic treatment setting required OR amplifiers - the same speakers running off - if it comes to using them in a room Small / Medium - I work in a room of about 32m ² and my speakers are fairly close to a wall (+-50cm).

So, we can easily imagine that the bass can be regarded as less loyal.
But the accuracy of the speakers is such, we hear clearly and specifically work on this frequency range, and it poses no objective problems.

So, on this issue, the trial can not be done honestly on these A7X,
A few hours spent with allow you to take the measure of my remarks.

Naturally, a short period is needed to "know" before the full potential of your two new friends!
Then, nothing to say is pro equipment, you can feel it and you can hear without any ambiguity!



OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?

About 1 month and it is undeniable that my progress in terms of mixing surged forward e-nooooorme. This is clearly a tool.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

HS50 home yamh, Rubicon ... I will not even talk about it, although I am sure for certain style of music and a serious knowledge in the field of sound can make HS50 exploitable. After, a question of taste: AC mouth and there, clear, bass, will really be able to guess!
I had the opportunity to listen to a song I know on HS80 ... nice for the price, but ... I dunno ... this is really colorful and maybe a bit flattering anyway. Finally, it is always the same problem: there are big bass, it s nice but I serious doubt on the accuracy ... Anyway, Adam is clearly outweighed in my opinion - which is what it is eh - and 7 (c is not really 7 "in fact, the 6.5 ...) s is found a very good choice given the size of my room.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
The accuracy really crazy, the fact that they send a max - not rely on their "small" size and the fact that c is also not the cardboard cone, then good, it makes less badly drawing his PORTFOLIO, the who is happy with these speakers may frankly be long, clinching the appearance and not tiring of the treble and midrange (range) acute fact that one can clearly work all day without having the tips of the hair all broken when going to bed. The NS10 side if we want the medium side WITHOUT the loudmouthed, clenching (hair etc.) ... and finally .. ben ... value for money indeed!
The least?
Well ... frankly, for me eh, and my level: There is a wonderful tool for equity and mixing sounds and even listening to the writer as full of trucks. I learned a lot thanks to these speakers and that, so, well ... I like it.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Well, finally, is not given, claro ... but I&#39;m a little account very fast in my little noggin: the best value for money, a strictly technical point of view is, Selnes me, the HS50 from Yamaha ... Except that BE should invest in a subwoofer or HS80 target, even when having to place a piece treated well and frankly, there is serious doubt about the definition of low and finally, almost all HS80 - whose ratio q / p is really not bad either, c is on ... then ... well ... are not photos, I blew my initial budget, but one inside the other: YES, it really is a VERY good value!

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Well ... my ability to mix so as homogeneous have clearly evolved, I rediscover tûûûte the music I love with more precision and alternatives at that price today, are quite thin so ...
Yeah! At the same substance!
