Best value:
Excellent
-What characteristics have motivated your choice?
The reputation of the brand. I knew someone who had a pair of A5 which I fell in love at the time.
So I decided to take the step in 2010 with the new arrivals to know A7X.
For what purpose?
Mainly for mixing, mastering and post production video.
What configuration? ...
Connected via an RME FireFace800 TRS outputs with XLR connector.
SOUNDS
The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
Serious. These speakers are very neutral and accurate.
The first listening may seem "gaudy" and uncomfortable with the ribbon tweeter but we made it fast enough.
To overcome the problem, I reduce it to a few decibels the volume of the tweeter in order to have a more natural (less plastic). Otherwise it has a good chance that your mix / master sorely lacks treble
The stereo is good?
Excellent. I am a composer and arranger of the song in any kind. I love tweaking "bassline" with NI massive and it is at this point that one realizes that the quality of the boxes. Playing on different phases of oscillations becomes a breeze.
The sound is clear and precise across the spectrum?
More accurate you die. Any default mixer is audible. Something unlikely with a pair of yamaha ... They are very analytical which can disrupt your first mixes.
The dynamics are respected? ...
Yes.
OVERALL OPINION
How long you use it?
I ordered my pair of A7X the first month of the official release.
Ie 2 years now.
What is so special that you love the most, least?
As:
- The sound and crystal clear
- The surgical precision
- The setting of the volume and power switch on the front
- The ribbon tweeter / the cone carbon and fiberglass
- The Look
The least
- No digital input
Did you tried many other models before buying it?
Serious. Mackie, Tannoy, Focal, Fostex ...
How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent
With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes your eyes closed. Although I buy a pair S3X-H
