What characteristics have motivated your choice? For what purpose? What amp / What configuration? ...dropoff Window

What motivated my is to have already worked with P11.
However, it lacked the lower midrange and bass, so I wanted to go to a good series above.
The use is mixing on electronic music.


SOUNDS

Is the frequency curve sufficiently neutral? Is good stereo? The sound is clear and precise across the spectrum? Is the dynamics are respected? ... *dropoff Window

So that's where it hurts ... The S3A is "stereo image" and neutrality. After taking over the various projects and have mixed with the S3A, my levels were IMPECC. The mastered cuts, light effects and perfectly parameters (reverb)
Basically, you can hear everything and that's all <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
I also have the SUB 10 and AC can indeed bring roundness to listen but good if you have a small room that is not really worth it because of the low frequency is in there.

NOTICE GLOBAL

How long have you use it? What thing do you like most and least? Have you tried many other models before buying it? How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice? ... *dropoff Window

It's been a few months that I use and I will never part as there is no ear fatigue and rendering is excellent.
I compared with génélecs and focal but it sounds different (too cold and too Hifi same ...)
I do not know how to explain but the sound ADAM is a habit that is taken very quickly.
My only regret is not having invested earlier in this range "S" because the other series are nettemment a notch below but remain
faithful to the quality all the same.
I repeat that choice 10 times.
