Loved these things, what're you using? ALSO, What's the speaker you wish you were using?
I'm using Yamaha HS5's. Ive had them so long I'm scared I wont be able to mix if I change them out haha. I feel like a well treated space is most of the battle. Nice monitors obviously take a good room to the next level. I would like to keep my Yamaha's but have a bigger set of mains that are a little more flattering/full-range. People don't like hearing their stuff through small 5" monitors.
question kind sir, can you get me that info of the guy that you were talking about(the one that you watch to help you build your studio) I was trying to find him on TH-cam, but... I want to also build my studio as well.
I have been using Roland DS-90A speakers. I have been working on a 4-room studio (double walls, double doors, double windows isolated, etc) for several years now and approaching completion lsoon (shout out to John Sayers studio design forum). I mounted my Roand speakers in a farfield setup (speakers imbedded into a front soffit area and are flush with the wall). I am well into the control room acoustic treatment phase now. The Rolands are front ported, which is necessary with a soffit-mounted speaker arrangement.
The problem is that these speakers are 23 years old and one of the tweeters blew up and it's impossible to find replacement parts, since they are not built any more. That's why I'm so interested in these ADAM A7X speakers: Front ported, power switch on front and up to -6dB LF roll off which is usually needed in soffit mounted setups. They are also pretty close to the same size of the Rolands, which means that I may not have to rebuild the assembly that suspends them all over again (hard to describe).
Neumann KH120, more natural and balanced
its ridiculous how you dont have more subs man your videos are so great. Just switched from a pair of vintage krk 7000 series passive monitors to a set of adam audios T7V’s and theyre great. Keep doing what youre doing man
Haha thanks 🙏 I appreciate it. Smashing the like button and sharing helps a ton!
Glad you love them 👊
Yes!
@@AndrewMasters Wich one is better the Adam A7 or Adam A8?
@@relle2222 honestly depends on the size of the room you’re gonna use them in. if it’s a large room then the a8x’s might suit u better. if it’s a medium to large size room then the a7x’s might be better. honestly it’s up to u but i’d honestly pick the a7x’s over the a8x’s becuase of price and size. u get enough bass out of the a7x’s to hear low frequencies clearly
@@andersmccormack Hi Anders, we are so sorry that you've had such a negative experience with our brand in the past. We can assure you that not every review comes with free speakers.. many times it's a simple demo pair that they get for a limited time and send them back to us. We've never asked any reviewer to say nice things about our monitors, and only give their personal preference.
We'd love to reach out and talk to you either in person or over the phone to get these issues straightened out and see if there is anything we can do to make sure that these problems don't happen again.
If you're interested, you can reach out to info@adam-audio.com or usa-info@adam-audio.com. Or simply shoot us a direct message on our Instagram.
I've had my A7X's for 5 years now..I even went to Adam's Berlin HQ last year and got to listen to my music in their listening room! I recently added the T10S sub to my setup based on the feedback from Adam's customer service expert (they pair really well)
Nice!
Awesome. I bought a set of “modded” HS8’s from ZenPro Audio. IMO (and I listened to everything under $4k) - they are the most open, extended monitors I’ve ever heard. All the buzz words. Best explanation is it sounds like you are mixing in an arena of headroom. It’s not even the same monitor after the mod. Completely smooth top, and another octave down, sides spread out after one week of break-in. It’s almost the same experience you hear from people who upgrade to a high end DAC like the Burl or the Solaris. To anyone looking for the best budget monitors, you absolutely have to hear them.
The only place i would want to go from here would be ATC 45’s.
haha "all the buzzwords". Awesome dude. Good to know!
I just order it I can’t wait to have them,Thanks for the review 🙏🏽
JBL MKII 5" These are my first pair of studio monitors and I know they are fairly beginner but coming from having nothing and mixing on headphones, it's been a game changer for me and has really helped me since now I can bounce back and forth from headphones and monitors! Still got a lot of learning to do but it's made the whole mixing process a lot easier and much more exciting!
Those are great! Especially for starters!
Love my ADAMs. Easily one of the best investments I've made as an engineer.
Heck yes.
Incredibly informative! Happy Friday!
Thanks! You too!
I like and appreciate your analysis of these speakers. It’s a huge help when looking for new equipment. GI GI
Why thank you Carol! Have a wonderful day :)
Great review! Loving your videos
Thank you!
Been researching speakers for days and days, was pretty sure I was gonna get these ones anyway - seeing this review has made a dead cert. SOLD!
Great choice, these puppies are awesome!
Andrew Masters Why not buy the A8X?
I like the 6.5”-7” speakers more
I’m using Sonarworks-calibrated HS7’s with a HS8S sub and I love it. Couldn’t get through an entire day of mixing on just the HS7’s, but adding the HS8S made a huge difference. I thought I treated my home studio well, but Sonarworks calibration is still a night and day difference.
Right on, I can’t wait to do the sonar works test!
I've got a pair of JBL 308's. Love them! Hard to beat the quality and ease of listening for the price. Been wanting to upgrade to these A7X's eventually though, so thanks for the great review!
Thanks! Those JBLs are nice!
Adam Audio T7V! Awesome budget speakers! With great sound!
Nice!
Dude you make awesome videos! I really think you're channel is going to grow a lot the next couple of years. Keep it up!
Thanks bro
Using and loving my Focal Solo 6 speakers!
An older model of the Paradigm audio prestige 15B, they were given to me by my dad and they sound fantastic even compared to some 8 inch genelecs that I’ve spent many hours on.
Right on!
Great vid! I use A8X and I love them
Nice! Thanks!
Last year was Barefoot MM27, now they've been replaced with Adam S3H. I still own a pair of Klein and Hummel O300D and as much as I love them, the Adams make them sound like a bowl of warm applesauce. The S3H has so much headroom, they're so fast, and so loud, they're actually frightening. I have a pair of Dunlavy SC-IVA that are some of the most accurate speakers on Earth, and the Adams keep up that level of transient detail in a more pleasant way. I'm fairly obsessed.
Those look great, I'd love to hear some 3 way speakers in this room.
@@AndrewMasters They're nutty! If I was gonna do it again, I'd probably get the S3V to make placement a little easier in a small room. I also run the Adams crossed over with subs, and the whole system is tuned, which IMO is the only way to get TRULY accurate low end.
But yeah, if you ever go for 3 ways, check out the Adams. ATC style mid-range and silky smooth top end. I just love em
I use the Adam A5X, though I also find myself mixing a lot on my (good) computer speakers as I really have gotten used to their sound.
Heck yeah. Sometimes it's the speaker you least suspect that works the best.
Sounds like a good combination you got there.. What computer speakers do use ?
a) I use passive KRK6000 with the original tweeters that are super bright and I love them - they show all the good mastered songs to be pleasant and never harsh. If they are - they werent mastered right. So I always get crisp enough highs, but sometimes clients want tracks brighter which leads me to think they are using dull monitors/listening equipment. These go through the rare british QUAD306 amplifier and sound amazing. They also have a modified bottom cone of PMC speakers. Thats the way I got em and I use them. They tend to go well with my 10" subwoofer that extends the low end and pretty much covers the area where those roll off at the LF. b) I got a pair of FOCAL SHAPE TWINs and they're pretty good, however they sound very dull compared to the KRK6000s and I want to upgrade to ADAM A7X. Also these FOCALs have sideports and I have 2 sets of speakers so they kinda need to be set apart or further away and not in my listening environment. P.S: In the past I used to have: M-Audio XB8 as my first monitors ever, then MACKIE HR824mk2, YAMAHA HS80M, YAMAHA NS10 and I own another pair of modified KRK6000s waiting on me in a diff geographical location - modded with FOCAL tweeters and cones, through a PEAVEY CS200x amplifier. 5:34 bro watch out for having the HDDs next to a magnetic thing such as of in the speakers. I also use a docking station similar to your but I put it further away!
Yamaha NS10’s and Focal Twin 6Be’s but, I have tried A7X’s and I loved them, highly recommend!
All excellent choices!
JBL
Right on, which JBL's?
I've been using Event BAS 20/20 for about 15 years, but am considering downsizing (mostly because of weight). Appreciate the info presented here.
Same speakers here-did you switch>
@@nonegiven9528 Haven't switched yet, but still considering. My 20/20's are awesome still, so until I can get out and hear the A7X the change will have to wait.
I just made the upgrade to the A7X’s from a pair of KRK Rokit 8’s I’ve been using for 12+ years. They arrive this week & I am beyond excited!
Stop dude! It's been 3 yrs since you have the A7x. How are they doing? Im still enjoying mine. I have never felt so comfortabel using these a7x. Let me know
@@justchenzo6039 I love 'em. I'm now on a 2-monitor system; switching from KRK's to ADAM's at any time and I love it! There was an extended period in which I struggled to get used to the ADAM's and it affected my confidence a bit, so adapting this system over time has given me a much more dynamic insight.
M-Audio BX5's.....power switch ON. THE. BACK! Uggghhhhhh! I want the Focals like yours but I've heard these Adam A7X monitors are awesome.
Nice! I started on the bx5s! Went to the Bx8s, Focals, and now the A7Xs!
I'm using Adam T7V' right now. I Dig the sound of them, but they have an inherent hiss/white noise. also, rear ported so having them close to a wall is not advised. I'm thinking of getting Focal shape 65's or a7x's. I cant decide...
Tyson Bittle id recommend the adam a 7xs. While the shape 65s are more expensive the low end only goes down to 50 hz. The low end on the adams goes down to 40hz. Id recommend getting a subwoofer as well but i was also blown away by the clarity of the adams. So choose wisely :)
ADAM is releasing the T8V’s and I’m wanting to upgrade from JBL 5 inch monitors.
I also am planning to move from the alpha 65s to the Adam's. The alphas are super harsh and I can't stand them. It always made my mixes dull bc I couldn't stand the harshness of the high end. They were also extremely boomy around 150 hz. Hopefully the Adam's will fix this!
Neumann KH 80. Went from KRK VXT 4 to these. These Neumanns are unreal, I can pick out everything in the mids. Almost went for the Adam's, either are a great choice.
Focal shape twin and Yamaha hs5
Nice combo!
I'm using KRK R6's at the moment but want to go for the Yamaha HS 7's in my new home studio
Nice! Do you use a sub with them? Or No sub?
No sub at the moment
i use the kali lp 6's and I LOVE THEM, especially for the price, I dont rekcon you could chose a better option for the price
Nice, I’ll check them out!
I use the Yamaha HS8's, best bang for the buck I could find here. My area (It's not even a room, just a corner) is tiny and these things can melt your face, I like a little Rammstein for this...
Salutations from grey and eerily quiet Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️
Sub or no sub? I think I could rock the HS line with a sub.
Andrew Masters no sub, these things are able to get way down there, 22hz I believe. I had the HS7’s which I traded up from, they would certainly need a bass bin.
HS8's go down to 38Hz, HS7 only 43Hz.
@@jiri951 Not sure where I saw the 22hz number, but I just checked and you're right 38hz is the correct frequency. 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
22Hz is the matching Yamaha subwoofer to go with the HS series
The Adams are amazing. I use KRK VXT4 reference monitors. The Adams are a tad sweeter than the VXTs. My next monitors are gonna be the A77Xs.
Some people like the harsh sound of the Yamahas and while I have been considering getting those I realized that it would be better to get better monitors and when the budget allows get some harsh speakers like the Yamaha HS range.
I am not sure what the fascination is with harsh speakers that are brutally honest when you can get good speakers that are very musical and allow you to work longer on your mixes without the ear fatigue.
Good video and keep that content coming.
Cheers from South Africa
Couldn't agree more. Thanks!
Check out Neumann KH 80. I had the VXT 4s for years, they were great but the Neumanns really show what's going on in the mids.
JBL 305 mk2.. been using them for 4 years or so now, but i think i'm going to upgrade to some A5X soon!
Great video man! I would also love to buy those ADAM A7X. Just starting in the music engineering and production.
I was thinking in get a pair of Mackies mr824 or Presonus Eris E8. Do you recommend any of them or do you have any recommendation for that price range?
Cheers man!
If you’re just getting started I would recommend getting something affordable that works with your set up. The most important thing is to have speakers that you are familiar with. Check out the Adam t8v’s!
@@AndrewMasters yeah, I would go for that too. The thing is, here in Perú they cost 300$ more than the presonus or mackies.. So, that's a little problem haha
Not sure if you know or was it mentioned before, there are two hidden levell controls on the back of the speakers, there two rubber bumps/caps and behind them there are two additional dials for the volume of the amps for the tweeter and the bass speaker. Pretty neat, but it's left out of all manuals, not sure why they put them in, but they are there if you need them.
I use the PRESONUS SCEPTRE 8 monitors. probably one of the most overlooked amazing sounding monitors ever!!
Yamaha HS8 as it was the best alternative I could afford.
Actually they do what you'd expect them to do, nothing more nothing less. True cons IMHO are those rear bass ports which, if you can't place them at an adequate distance from the wall, really work against your mental health😂
Looking forward to build my own home studio, was thinking about a Controlled Image Design design, will be a lot of fun! Nice work by the way, really love it, keep it up!✌🏻
Thanks!
Loving my Adam T7Vs.
Is it worth getting the A7X's in 2021, since they might get an upgrade in the near future (they are currently over 10 years old)?
I’m using using Adam Audio T7V but I’m looking to change them for Focal Alpha 65. What did you think ?
I haven't used the T7V's but I have used the Alpha 65's for the past 8 months and they are great speakers too!
I'm literally in this same predicament. I can't decide between shape 65's or a7x's
@@AndrewMasters Im torn between Adam 7X and Focal Shape 65.. What would be best in a small apartment to mix and produce R&B, Hip - Hop, Pop and EDM any advice would be helpful ?
Why do you want to change them ?
Ordered my A7X today. Had the HS7 for a week now.. Mids and highs are incredibly nice but the lows? No punch nothing I regretted it so I send them back for Adam A7X.
pre sonus eris 4.5, but I'm looking to upgrade and you've helped me make up my mind!
Right on!
i have the Adam a7x and i love them
Yes! They’re great!
Right now i have my first pair of studio monitors, they are Mackie´s CR5XBT 5" speakers with 0.75" tweeters, They are not super high end speakers, but im really liking them, i recommend them to everybody starting out!!
I’m using the A7x for about a year and half and they’re top notch,love em! Listen to all kinds of music but DJ/production is my main passion.Im on the fence about a sub for deep low end.My studio space is converted from a 1 car garage and is untreated.Sub8,Sub10 or nah? Thanks
Oh definitely 10” sub! It’s such an awesome combo.
Andrew Masters Thanks Andrew.Those Sub 10s aren’t budget friendly so I’ll have to start saving those pennies.I hear you should stick with the same brand for calibration reasons and also hear an argument that you don’t have to. Which is it?What brand if the latter holds true?Thanks
I have the 10” krk sub, it works great!
Andrew Masters Thanks a lot. You’ve been helpful
@@stevenwheeler7999 No problem!
Still deciding on what pair to get 😂😂
I bought the 5’s and just returned them. My room is 15 x 15 so there was no way they were going to keep up. Waiting for my 7’s now. Was going with the sub8 with the 5’s but am now moving to the sub10. Is that what you’re running? About how big is your room? Thanks so much!
Nice, the 7s are so good. Still loving them. I’m actually using a krk 10” sub and it’s great for my room. My room is 21’x13’ but it’s extremely controlled and sounds just awesome.
Are you going to be using these moving forward and replace you Alpha 80s? I'm looking to upgrade from the gen 3 Rokit 5s and debating between the HS8s, Alpha 80s, and the A7Xs.
I actually replaced my alpha 65s with the a7x's. They are awesome.
@@AndrewMasters Oh awesome! What made you chose those over going up to the alpha 80s? And what kind of music do you mainly mix/produce?
I first had the A7's and had lots of issues with them dying on me--I think I went thru 3 A7's and one A7X. The speakers sound great and I used them over 6-7 years and they have improved their builds and customer service post 2015. My issue with them is they did not ever translate well to how the music sounded on all the other sources I knew well. I'm now mostly having to mix on Head phones and it was a lucky break in the sense that I found the Beyer Dynamic DT 770 Pro's and they're the most honest monitoring source I've used yet!! I have a set of the smallest Genelec's and they put out a lot for the size but I've yet to really mix anything on them as I need to better acoustically treat my room. Sounds like you're going a lot further with working the A7X's into your environment then I did so you'll get a better impression of your mixes.
Monoprice 5” monitors. I forget the model number. Surprisingly decent for the money, relatively clear, very little distortion. I’m buying some ns10’s or those Kali LP6’s next. Maybe both lol.
The MM3s? Nice! NS10s are a gift and a curse all at the same time. haha. I love them.
Just got mine today I’m upgrading from the Yamaha HS’7 all I can say it’s deff with every penny. If you can save money for these I recommend it!!!!! You can’t go wrong and my mixes sound way better
I use Adam A7Xs with the Sub8, I use it through my computers sound card which is interfaced with M-Audio M-Track 2x2M audio interface. It is my computer monitors, but I mainly use it for sound with my Kawai VPC1, and I play the VI Labs - Ravencroft 275, 9 foot grand piano, with titanium strings. I use DYI audio sound absorption panels, with a DIY sound diffusor on the back wall. Planning to make DIY corner bass traps with charcoal in tubes, covered with sound absorption panels. The A7X and Sub8 have the frequency range I require for piano sound reproduction. For the size of the room I use they can be overpowering, but a suitable sound levels, they are a dream. I got reboxed speakers at Long and McQuade, and have had the speakers for 6 years. I used pink noise to burn the speakers in before using. Then I played various genre of music after burn in.
Adam Audio FTW! a pair of A8x's with my NS-10M's.
I've got HS7s in my small fairly well treated room and after 3 years, I am not a fan of them. It's not very enjoyable listening to music on them and they are pretty fatiguing. I wish stores let you do a take-home demo of speakers because i would love to try out other monitors
For sure! That would be awesome.
Try the little JBL's and a sub. On a budget, it makes a nice B set with the Yamahas. Very different sounding speakers.
I am using a pair of JBL 305's and Tannoy 402's great for mixing and the space that I am in.
That's a great combo!
@@AndrewMasters Yes indeed, I am really happy with my mixes.
I've had several Adam monitors. A7X, T7V, ARTist 5s. Now I have a pair of EVE (created by former Adam CEO) SC208s paired with two 12" subs.
Love the AMT tweeters from companies like Adam, Eve, and HEDD, though they each have differences.
I did upgrade from the Adam A7Xs to Eve SC208s and was surprised by how little of a difference going back to rear bass ports made. I think the front bass ports matter if the speakers are VERY close to a wall (within a few inches) but once there's close to a foot of distance or more, it made little difference for me.
What about the adams T7V's ?
Are they way "worst" from the a7x's ?
@@ChrisKeyman No. Just a bit worse in build quality, noise floor, and low-end speed/response time. I'd say you're getting maybe a 30% overall better package (much of which isn't sonic performance) for about 3X the price. You have to decide if you're okay with that.
@@mohamedahmed1023 thanks man
@@mohamedahmed1023 sc208 is much better than the A7x ?
@@ChrisKeyman every person's definition of "much better" is different. It depends on whether you want more extensive DSP control of your speaker. The SC208 has deeper bass and a smoother top end. It also has a higher bass response than the Adam A8X. If you find the highs on Adam speakers harsh (I liked them actually), the Eves are less harsh.I also like the front dial.
How can I get the circuit diagram? I think recently I bought two amps without speakers and the box. I think the volume ribbons are missing
have you identified the midrange scoop?
Mackies Cr4 But I need to Change them
What studio monitors do you suggest me for abou 200-250 euros each?
Hard for me to say! It's much better to get a feel for the way the speakers sound on your own. Lots of personal considerations!
@@AndrewMasters Ok thank you
Love your vids btw
Thank you!!
I use Focal Alpha 80’s as my main and then Adam T5V’s for my secondary pair.
I live in Finland so of course my number 1 choice is Genelec. At the moment I'm running the 8020's but when I get more money I'm definitely going to upgrade to their dsp monitors. Maybe something like 8330. Atm these little guys I have lack low frequencies which I don't like. If money wasn't the issue I would by 8331's. Do people have Genelec's in the USA or is it just an european thing?
Totally! Yeah man Genelec's are not unusual here.
@@AndrewMasters Awesome! Good to hear
Alesis Monitor One Active MKII.. looking to upgrade
I picked up the Kali Pro Audio LP-6's. They are fantastic and stupidly affordable!
Good to know!
Been using focal alpha 65 for a few years now. If i were to upgrade it would be to solo6 be
I am using the eve audio sc307 and oh lord are they GREAT😍🤤
Nice!
Is Adam A7x suitable for untreated bed room studio ?? Thanks in advance 🤗
I'm on a pair of KRK V6 with KRK 10in Sub and alternate Avantone Mixcubes. I wish I had one more pair for midfield monitoring - leaning toward the brand new Adam A Series.
Thank for a lot of info, Now I'am using krk rokit 5 g4 gonna upgrade to this ADAM A7X. Sound good? 😆🤩🤝
They are so awesome.
How are these rokits ??
Do they have clean sound?
Can you mix at low volume?
Image?
Thankss
I am thinking these or the Mackie's Mr524
Years ago I used Genelecs.... for the past 7 years I been using Neuman kh120. I was happy but was still having issues with my mixes. 2 months ago I got KRK Rokit 7s for my office (I know... cheap rokit, right?). Well to make a long story short, they are in my studio now and the Neumann are off. Like them so much I ordered the krk v6. Who knew?!
Nice! That’s great!
Rokits G4 ?
@@ChrisKeyman yes they were the rockit g4. Pretty good for the price. But now 9 months later. I got the Neumann kh310. There are many very good monitors for the price but there’s no substitute for 3 voice pro (expensive) monitors.
Not so much a studio, but I have a pair of these, and a Sub10 Mk2, set up for me to play my Korg Kronos through. Sounds great. 👍
Awesome!
how are studio monitors for general listening? I consider myself at least 50% audiophile.
Mewzyc excellent. The relationship of the speaker position and the room make a difference as well. But listening through some speakers like these a7xs or an equivalent is definitely preferable.
I'm using the Yamaha HS 80's
Using a pair of Dynaudio LYD 48 in white. Fabulous 🔊 😎
Kali LP-6, best monitors for the money! I'm a huge fan of them.
I use the pre sonus eris e3.5 and I got them only a few weeks ago but there really good. Also, they re my first monitors so I don't have a lot of comparison
Nice 👍 I’ll have to check them out!
Krk rokit 5, they are good but have heightened low end. Will upgrade to a7x or hs8 at some point
Genelec 8040B. Love them!
Eve SC305. Wonderful speakers
I’ve seen a lot of people mention the eves today!
I love pro ac
Dude.. Me too
Rokit Krk Rp-5 g3, i love them so far!!
Nice!
Bro I'm rocking the JBL lsr305MKII and I love them
Yesssssss!
I've got a pair of Adam a7x as well and a pair of avantone mixcubes
Couldn't think of a better combo
adams a7x are industry standard and avantones are cool but i use eqs to get same results ....you can monitor your mix with out bass and put in mono and get similar results.
Good video !! I suggest you test ADAM's S series, you will hear something AMAZING.
I'm using Kii Three and Yamaha ns10
Yamaha HS 7 !
Nice, do you use a sub with them?
Not at the moment. I will get one as soon as I move out of my apartment.. #CollegeStudentStruggle lol
You're gonna grow faster than Jack's magic beanstalk
Haha wow! Thanks buddy :)
Tannoy Reveal... for more years than I care to admit.
Haha I know those puppies!
Id recommend getting a sub for the 7xs. While the clarity is great you lose some low end. I just purchased a sub 8 and im hoping ill be able to get my low end tighter
I use a 10” with mine, it’s so good.
Andrew Masters jealous! I hope the 8 is good i couldnt afford the 10 haha
Wharfedale Pro Diamond 8.2 Pro Active. I love them but the switch and volume knob at the rear is really annoying and makes no sense. Why are so many monitor speakers designed this way? Is there a benefit to have them in the rear?
I have no idea, I can imagine some reasons but I like the control on the front much more.
I don’t have monitors but I have old jbl P20’s from the 90s.
I compared the Focal Alpha 65s to the Adam's and preferred the Focals. To note, this model of the Adam's cost twice as much as the Alphas, a more fair compare would be the Focal Shapes...
Right on!
Using HS5 from Yamaha RN but im going to get those Adam A7X and a Big Knob Studio to use both ✨
I'm using Avantone Pro CLA-10's (with CLA-200 Power Amp). I 💛 em, it translates my mixes everywhere. I never felt as confident about my music production skills until I got these 😎.
Nice! Do you use them with or without a sub??
@@AndrewMasters Without a sub, I know how my sub translates on em too 😁😎
That’s awesome. I love NS10s.
@@AndrewMasters You should get a pair also then 😁😎
i have some trust master desktop speakers with a 10" sub... i want monitors but cant seem to find the right one. was thinking about the hs7, they are perfect for my room and they are great against the competition. im just waiting for the mini fuse 4 to drop then i can get them. and if music is to be my career i will maybe upgrade to A7X. thats my plan
I use Adam P11A but i'm looking for the new Eve 3070 right now.
Alright! Those look pretty sweetk, I'd never heard of EVE before today.
Andrew Masters yeah they go in the same sound direction as the adam‘s but they are rear ported and u are absolutly right when u say that rear ported speakers don‘t work verry good in an home studio. So i have to overthink this 😅
Hey @@Jonathansausm1 ,
the wave lengths of the frequency range in which the bass reflex channel operates, is 8 m and it does not matter whether they are directed forward or backward. The 31 cm depths of the monitor makes no difference at all.
I am still deciding between ADAM A7X and Dynaudio LYD8
as you mentioned
Pros for Adam
-front power switch
-front volume knob
-front bass ports
Cons for Adam (consistent across many reviews)
-bass is not low enough, thus it requires sub
-midrange scoop
-Not true 7" woofer
Pros for LYD 8
-auto power/sleep
-consistent sound throughout the volume range
-Class D amps (power savings, emit less heat)
-deeper bass
-flatter curve (especially in the mids)
-can be used without sub.
Cons
-more expensive
-may have less warranty (Adam has 5 years if you register your product. I can't find how long the warranty is for powered speakers/studio monitors in Dynaudio webpage. Their 8 year warranty is for passive speakers)
-much larger.
-cheap MDF cabinet? (subjective)
-bass extension mode isn't good.
-rear bass port.
