Value For Money :
Excellent
I was looking for a good pair of powered monitor setup working for my home studio to replace the speaker Hi-Fi Bose Companion 5. So I spent a month or two to read reviews, find the best value for money. I was going off on a pair of Prodipe to 500 balls when I decided to check the ear that I could read on the internet.
I tried in direct comparison with two to three songs that I knew quite a dozen pregnant, from KRK, Mackie, Fostex, Genelec ... 200 euros to 5000 euros. And then I tried Adam A7X, after listening, I knew that although they are 400 euros off-budget that I could buy those.
After bleeding my bank account on a whim I can say that I was thrilled!
SOUNDS
The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?
After several tests with Sine Sweeps and more displacement of set-ups to find the sweet spot of the acoustic room where I work, I could identify by ear any noticeable difference in the frequency curve. The enclosure is theoretically supposed to reach 50 kHz (well delas that the human ear can hear) ensuring that the loss of neutrality more or less inevitable at the end of the spectrum lies outside the frequency interval useful.
The dynamics are respected?
The question does not arise for speakers in this price point.
The stereo image is good?
Impeccable, but the same as for the question above.
The sound is clear and precise across the spectrum?
So this is for me the highlight of these speakers, bass accurate and bloody sharp mids and highs sublime, in short, no problem at this level there is in my point even stronger, compared to Genelec the same range, which often have large holes in the midrange, these speakers are a perfect example of industry!
OVERALL OPINION
I use these speakers for the past 4-5 months, I expected to know them to post my final opinion here. I've tested, triturated and push to end to see what they have in the belly.
I even took to my country home in order to test them thoroughly in open air (not to exceed 50% of power in the city without the neighbors calling the cops).
At maximum power and outdoors with no reverb and walls to change the listening experience, I noticed an incredible accuracy, a perfect bass presence and the rest of the frequency curve. Short, one breathtaking.
I did listen to these speakers at several friends working in the sound, all were convinced by these little Adam.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
At least two dozen models including two or three most expensive and Genelec company, A7X stood out clearly.
What thing do you like most/least about it?
Compared to the other speakers but it's more a matter of taste than anything else, design and finishing. They are enthroned in my studio, beautiful and modern! Nothing to do with Prodipe or Genelec!
Default? I do not see (or not hear) it.
What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
The price is quite high, these speakers are not within reach of every purse, I made a folly beyond my original budget of 400 euros, but I do not regret. That even the best choice I could do since I got into music there it 5 years.
With the experience I would do this choice with your eyes closed. My next speaker will be Adam is on!
With these speakers sound quality of my songs have changed dramatically, I learned so much thanks to them that the 850 euros that I put in was worth every dime! To buy without hesitation.
If my apartment were to catch fire, it's probably the first thing I would try to escape (with my hard drive containing all my work of course!)
