I was about to buy the new KRK's, but did a quick final comparison in the store. Just to be sure that I was doing the right thing here. The guy in the store let me listen to other 7" (6,5") monitor speakers like Genelecs, Yamaha en these Adam Audio speakers (which I hadn't heard of) and it was immediately clear that Adam won the test for me. There's much more definition in the low (bass) with the Adam Audio. KRK are pretty good, but if you want to master your techno, tech house etc tracks, you want to have the Adam's. If you want good sound to listen to tracks (not mastering) or for DJ'ing, then go for the KRK's. And yes, I was about to buy the KRK Rokit 7 G4. I was already in love with these yellow cones, but the difference was so evident. And I'm not a professional, so even my (sort of) untrained ears could hear a big difference. The difference in this video is less big than in the audio room. So my advice, go to your local store and put up some of your favourite music, the kind of music you produce and just listen. You'll notice the difference. Btw, If you are mastering rock music, go for the Yamaha's. They are an absolute winner for that genre.
@@harveyjh You mean mixing records or mixing and mastering tracks? If you're dj'ing then go for the KRK's. They make the sound a bit fatter, given you a bit more that club feel. If you're about to produce tracks yourself and want to mix and master your tracks, then go for the Adam's. Anyway, this is my advice. Both brands produce awesome monitor speakers, so if you upgrade from a standard stereo set or (in my case) headphones, it will be a massive upgrade either way. Have fun and keep rocking!
@@1087films The old generation krk rokits have way more bass and was muddy in the lows and it was one of the industry standard monitors for mixing; there's a popular engineer that said he only mixes and masters on the krk g3s and has been mixing on the krks for 30 years; the new g4s sound more true and flatter than the previous ones (plus you have an entire EQ built on the back of it that you can customise so it fits your room or your needs); so it depends what sound you want. The point isn't to get the best sounding monitor but the most true one. The yamaha hs gives the most true sound, if you make it sound good then generally it will sound good elsewhere. You shouldn't be using monitors to hear exactly how your low end sounds anyway because most cut off at around 40 Hz anyway, you should use a subwoofer for that. Yamaha hs5s + the hs8s subwoofer would be the best combination for very clear highs and mids and a detailed and deep low that goes down to like 5-15hz (don't remeber exactly)
@@1087films Billie Eilish is a good recent example. She recorded all her vocals in her small room with no acoustic treatment at all, And her brother Finneas produced all her songs just using the yamaha Hs5s (which barely have any bass) And the subwoofers HS8S. The good thing about subwoofers is that they are way more detailed than monitors, as the response is much lower and they are designed specifically for producing bass, And you can turn them on/off so you can hear your mix with the bass and with reduced bass. If it sounds good on monitors with low bass when the subwoofer is off AND when it is on, then that's the firdt sign that the mix probably went well
The top end of the Adam speakers seemed to have a lot more clarity. I noticed the subtlety of the brushes on "Long Drive" more on The Adams. Also, the hi-hats on "Deep" were more defined. Same for "Man On Fire. Having said that, the KRKs do have a very appealing mid-boost. I'm using old Rockit 5s and I do really like them. I am tempted to get some T7Vs though.
KRK matches the source better....Meaning it's more accurate to what you're mixing. The commanded lows were expressed too soft on the Adam's. The Adam's are also too colorful/bright in the highs which also does not match the source.....the point of monitors is express the source as accurately and flat as possible and just sounds like the Adam's are to quick in transient response and the KRKs are almost too slow causing muddy/muffle. Honestly, if these two speakers had a child - I'd probably consider it
Adam has clearly more definition and sparkle on the high end. The bass frequencies seem to be more enhanced with the Rokit but it could be that the open port at the front is helping with the projection towards the mic. I think you can only judge if you are in the room..
krk for me. more natural and balanced. look at the snare in breakbeat brass. much more detailed with more presence. the overall performance is better on krk. i like the new G4 models. good job as always from Digital Stereophony.
i read this again and again, back or front port is not important for monitor placement! only for build speaker on a wall play this a role, you need space between wall and speaker, the position from port is not important. source: german speaker builder visaton www.visaton.de/service/technische-grundlagen/wandnahe-aufstellung-von-lautsprechern
I don't know much about anything but if I had the money I'd have both sets of monitors in my studio because its bass frequencies I have the most trouble with. I want them not too loud, not too quiet and with just the amount of clarity so they cut through - I reckon hooking both sets of monitors to something like a Mackie Big Knob would help my amateur bedroom mixing! 😃
Love the it at the end of the video (09:49) where the Frequency Responses for the two speakers are shown on the same graph. They follow each other so closely up to about 3K where they start to differ. My guess would be that it is the response of the room causing all those little peaks and troughs in the responses up to 3K. Was there any attempt to use the EQ controls on the speakers to tune them to the room?
The Adams sound really spacious, a tad empty aswell. But i would bet that you can point out the placing of the instruments in a track easily with the adams. However, the Krk's sound like a Hug. They are so intimate. Krks have won me over. Heart over Analysis in this case. Hope my future mixes agree with me on this choice. Thanks for the vid. Love it
I have the Adams A8x monitors, been using them for years there brilliant for all kinds of music. Adams are the ones,can't go wrong! no nonsense in your face detailed reference. really open sounding high-end and you can really hear every detail of the monitors low-end frequency range... frequency roll-off depends on which Adams monitors you buy.. "how low you want to go"!! try before you buy and I bet the Adams clearly stand out from the rest
Love to see comparision with RCF Ayra PRO 6 vs these T7V and Rokit 7 G4, there is no video reviews about RCF ayra pro's, intresting to see what people think about them. :)
@@yunglahmacun i ended up getting the the presonus eris 5s. Great sound for the price and for my small apartment. I want to upgrade to the rokits eventually.
Hahahaha yeah I know what you mean. I bought the presonus sceptre s8's that are bad ass and the stereo imaging is amazing. Everything I mix and do now translates very well to buds, headphones, car stereos, bluetooth speakers, and phones. No more bouncing back n forth to other sources checking. I had the Adam A7x and to me the highs were a little too piercing somewhat harsh, and the lows to mids to me just didn't have the feel or balls. I came from some JBL LRS 305's...so was a huge step I feel on volume and some low end. I still like my lil 305s, best speakers ever for beginners and for bang for buck you can't beat that price range. the trick to mixing and why speakers are important is the frequency response. If you can hear everything, you can fix it. The more you hear, the better your translations will be across the board to multiple sources. Hope this helps confuse you more for speakers hehe. Oh I'm looking at Focal Shapes 65 as well. :)
But they lacks of mids. You can boost low and high frequencies, but in most cases you can't do it with mids. That's why you need good mids from start like in KRK's. But only in 7, KRK 5 G4 lacks mids either.
The mids seem scooped out@ 5:27, but not @5:44?? Are they set differently each time within the same song? If so, they sound like very flexible speakers. At least to my somewhat untrained ears.
At the moment I try to decide between both models. In this video I like T7V al little more (espacially in "more acoustic music") but i'm afraid, they can't do as loud (and clean), as i sometimes "need". Someone knows about "this question" from experience? Thank you, "Digital Stereophony", for your work. There should be more channels like this. VERY HELPFUL!
The two monitors have similar sounds, however, for the price, I prefer the KRK Rokit 7. One question, with what equipment is the original sound reproduced? It is the one that seems best to me.
both pairs are great for the price. but need to say that it's not only about frequency response. the character of speakers is smth u need to check with your own ears and also need to add that AMT tweeters give you a whole another perception of scene, which cannot be felt through just watching a video. i'm not agitating for Adams. just advising to trust your ears irl
It's weird. I wouldn't say either is better, just different. I liked one or the other better depending on the genre of the song. For example, the krks sounded better to me on the dance track, but the other speakers were way better for the metal song.
DS.r, i much appreciate your idea to compare the loudspeakers and all the hard work behind it!! Of course there are some specifics about the methodology here and there, but the basic "point" remains untouched and its up to the listener to interpret your results correctly. It is amazing, how it differs, what the people look for or how they analyze, what they hear.. In my case its balance, that matters, the glue.. To describe this particular comparison, KRK writes a sentence with words made up of letters of approximately similar size. In T7V these are of different sizes, which to my ears is quite distracting. Of course there are other acoustic parameters besides frequency response. To give a couple of examples, I obviously fall into the category of people who think highly of Andrew Jones' last two releases for Elac.. and from actives it would be KRKs G4 5&7. I respect all opinions and thank you for them. Everyone can find something essential for her/himselves in these. The most important thing at the end is the satisfaction with our own choice, as personal listening experience can't be substituted. And if i may add my own request for the future, it would be a comparison of Elac DBR vs Elac Uni-Fi Reference.. sorry, these are passives and as such, it doesn't belong to this "thread" that much.. Thanks again, wish all of you much fun during the listening.
@@TheHardstyle22 i'm intrested too some hardstyle/hardcore track, anyway i think that KrK are always better to listen hardcore/hardstyle/frenchcore music
well i used to kind of hate krk rokits as a studio monitor but now that im lookin for a couple of fun speakers to produce with i decide to give it a chance to the rokits, and with this generation i found they are flat, that im not sure at all if i want that flatness cause i have the hs5 hahah
i bought a pair of second hand rokit6's last year and honestly this is my first pair ever so i cant really compare it with anything yet but i kinda find the output of my monitors a bit too bassy if im making any sense? like my mixes always sound a bit too bassy and i end up cutting too much low end but when i listen to my mix it sounds like i cut too much low end. is it my monitors? or is it my room? or am i just not tweaking it right? idk lemme know what you think below. i dont mind sounding dumb im new to this so getting your feedback would really really help :D
Krk and Prosonus speakers sound so much alike. They sound good but lack just a tad of detail for high end mixing wiz is what keep me away from booth brands. The 7 and 8 inch Adam’s are hard to beat. You cut the highs by 2db which flattens them out even more. I went for an old pair of Event ASP6’s though! I think for $400 I made the right choice, they sound better than i expected!
Im looking at the g4 7 to use with a psr sx900 keyboard and a roland handsonic drum pad do they put out decent bass ? Not looking to rattle the house just sound good not distorted on bass . Thank you
great thanks! the mids resolution is so much better i say wooow lol. for me personality better as kali. oh and thx for new sound mix, sounds better and speaker too original is more balance.
@@DSAUDIOreview Nice, I love the sound of the E8xt but they are a bit big and bassy for my small-ish studio space. Not as big a fan of the e5xt though as i find them a bit over bright, so it would be interesting to see where the e7xt lands between the two. Also how they compare to the HS7 and T7v which were my first choice but are no longer options in the new roob because of them being back ported.
@@jesperhagberg Recently listened to them. they blew away the rp7's but they have a very loud buzzing going on audible even from a larger distance(E8xt has it too but audible from maybe 30cm from the speaker). The buzzing was around 50-60Hz so i assume it's a transformer noise. Cheap electronic compontents?
Adams, excellent definition, almost dry, clinical. Rockets, i hear that hump in mids to get that detail,, lacking Adams definition. Adams remind me ofJBL 305 SOUND, (which are excellent btw), rockets remind me of party speakers with really good separation but a little less refined than Adams. These 7" Adams are too clinical for me. The Rockets sound fun but humped in mids, while Adams sounded scooped to me just a little but way better definition. I would get the Adams adding warmth and more spatial information, probably would help. Rockets are fine, just not quite able to keep up with that Adam tweeter. Must remove the environment Tho from affecting end users experience, because sparkly and clinical isn't enough. Both are really good, not great Tho.
Does anyone know how they compare in terms of the background noise when no music is playing? I heard, that the KRKs have a really loud his when nothing is playing.
I've compared the t7v and the rokit at my local music store and the adams blew the krks out of the water by a long shot. The treble on the rokits was really harsh and I wanted to go back to the adams as soon as I switched, bass was louder on the krks but not as punchy and clear. The rokits were also fairly muddy but the high mids were similar. I've heard people call the krk monitors suitable for hip hop, trap and vice versa having to do with low bass. Thing is that you want lower bass, not louder bass. The krks don't have lower bass but just louder bass, which may sound appealing at first listen but it's not what you want for monitoring your mixes. Louder low end will pretty much result in the complete opposite result to what you may be looking for, you're gonna undercompensate the low end because of the boost in the monitors. Trust me when I say that you have to listen to them with your own ears, a video like this does not explain how they actually sound.
i thing the chorus is in your brain ;) the "chorus" is the Room... you hear on krk more mids more room and this is a good thing. less mids = you mix to much mids in your tracks and then you have "chorus" on your tracks ;)
@@Leonardo-nf7cl no, really no, i copy never from another people! I self test Speaker and have krk and adam experience, today i test KRK Sub10 and this thing sounds really good!
@@jenshuxley Jens Huxley lol youtube is bugged as hell and there was my comment instead of yours with your account name.... Lol... Anyway, If you have less mids you put them too high and you have chorus. But have you ever thought that krk have too much mids? I have t7v at home... I tried krk 8 but t7v are better... They are really balanced, more than you think... Krk have too much bass frequencies so in the mix you put them too low just because "on the krk sound fine" and... Let me just say it... The tweeters in the t7v are so much better than the krk... Krk's high frequencies, as most of the speaker, are just... Saturated... And not detailed than the t7v ones... This is because of the ribbon tweeter of adam audio... And then, If you watch the frequency response guide, on the lower part, t7v and krk have almost the same response...
the adams sound good for some things. awful for others. mine seem botched. very non musical sounding. and the opposite of rich? ebaying them. i have an old pair of rokit 6s i found in my garage. and while not perfect. dont make me want to stab my screen. why is the 6 series so $$$
There aren't dubs: t7v are WAY better... They are more balanced than krk and the sound from krk seems muffled... A lot of people think krk are better 'cause you can hear bass frequencies better... And yeah, bass reflex is better, but not the woofer and the twitter... For bass frequencies you could buy a subwoofer... There's a huge differenze between krk (all of them) and tv...
Adams much more accurate. Very good speakers. KRK's bit disappointment - not the best studio sound, and not the computer/hi-fi speaker. I expected much more from them...
Not sure if it's my headphones or the recording or but both speakers sound like they have shitty boomy bass with very slow transients and I know the Adam T7V doesn't have this in real life (not sure about the KRK G4 7s). These videos showcase nothing about a speaker. They're no better than looking at a frequency graph. You can't tell how a speaker performs when it comes to attack, decay, transient responses, soundstage, width, depth, "airiness", "sparkleness", etc. etc. Anyone who's even fairly competent about sound knows that these comparisons are highly inaccurate and relay no useful or beneficial information about the sonic qualities of speakers.
i like the 7 more, have less highs and the to much highs is the most fail of this series, the to much bass is in combination with sub not so important.
Had them both. If you want to mix low end, you go for a subwoofer. For highs the ribbon tweeter IS nice -- but maybe you care more about the range where actually 90% of the music happens. KRK is better overall, especially after room correction or configuring it with a reference mike. No need to call other people deaf if you have zero investment and information to properly test them.
Auditioned both g4s and tv adams and unless you want overly bright amt sound the g4s are much better. The transition from tweeter to woofer is so much better than the adams which always sound like two different speakers are playing at the same time. The krks are warmer in general and their tweeter wont give you a headache after long listening sessions.
Ask anyone who has compared these in person and they will all tell you that the krk sounds awful, a video like this does not explain the sound too well
I listened to the krk g4s and adam t5v, t7v and a7x. The krks destroyed the adams, it wasnt even close. The krks are trully flat with a slight 8khz boost and rolled off top end. The adams extend the top end but it gets annoying real quick and there is no sense of cohesion between the tweeter and mid. The krks use kevlar on both drivers and it doesnt sound like the tweeter is playing separate from the woofer like the adams.
-> 09:22
I believe transients are better in t7v, i mean transient shaping but is a little boomy in Low end.
Good !
awesome job

@@Victorius no hardstyle .
@@TheHardstyle22 i'm intrested too some hardstyle/hardcore track, anyway i think that KrK are always better to listen hardcore/hardstyle/frenchcore music
as a beginner, would you recommend these or the rokit5, thanks :)
Yes.
well i used to kind of hate krk rokits as a studio monitor but now that im lookin for a couple of fun speakers to produce with i decide to give it a chance to the rokits, and with this generation i found they are flat, that im not sure at all if i want that flatness cause i have the hs5 hahah
This is strange but KRK sounds more neutral and balanced
The new g4's have been changed allot in the low and top end. Balancing it out more, from what ive been able to get from researching these
G4 is amazing
@@franciscojaenvelazquez9582 indeed, bought a pair of rp7's a week ago. they sound amazing
i bought a pair of second hand rokit6's last year and honestly this is my first pair ever so i cant really compare it with anything yet but i kinda find the output of my monitors a bit too bassy if im making any sense? like my mixes always sound a bit too bassy and i end up cutting too much low end but when i listen to my mix it sounds like i cut too much low end. is it my monitors? or is it my room? or am i just not tweaking it right? idk lemme know what you think below. i dont mind sounding dumb im new to this so getting your feedback would really really help :D
I just think the Adams are the far and away winner. This video doesn't do them justice. I've heard both in person. Just get the Adams.
Krk and Prosonus speakers sound so much alike. They sound good but lack just a tad of detail for high end mixing wiz is what keep me away from booth brands.
The 7 and 8 inch Adam’s are hard to beat.
You cut the highs by 2db which flattens them out even more.
I went for an old pair of Event ASP6’s though! I think for $400 I made the right choice, they sound better than i expected!
Adam Audio t7v or Rokit 7 G4 ? which are better ?
And that’s why there’s on board DSP to tune to your room KRK is ahead with the new G4 Models🏆😎🚀
except the dsp is trash-mode on the krk, gimmic that falls in line to the same as the knobs before hand.
Can u compare kali audio vs Krks
KRK wins they have changed to the VXT sound flat and true with the Built on DSP 💯🏆🏆🏆🏆
Adam audios are more bass blown and on the other side KRK rokits are more neutral
Can you compare Adam t8v. Thanks
KRK is the winner here.. more natural and broad soundstage
Im looking at the g4 7 to use with a psr sx900 keyboard and a roland handsonic drum pad do they put out decent bass ? Not looking to rattle the house just sound good not distorted on bass . Thank you
im sorry, Adam audio won it for me in this test
great thanks! the mids resolution is so much better i say wooow lol. for me personality better as kali. oh and thx for new sound mix, sounds better and speaker too original is more balance.
I just bought the krk 7 g4 monitors is the best thing that happened to me the mix is incredible
thanks to this channel
did you get an audio interface?
@@harryhairo7272 obviously
Dear author, how do you think, which one is better for a treated home studio?
Krk 145watts Adams 70 watts I would think more room fill with root I do love my Adam 7 but kinda wish I went w krk7
Will you do comparisons of the newer Presonus E7 XT versus the other speakers in the 6.5/7" range?
E7XT is on my radar, but I can not give you any concrete info at the moment
@@DSAUDIOreview Nice, I love the sound of the E8xt but they are a bit big and bassy for my small-ish studio space. Not as big a fan of the e5xt though as i find them a bit over bright, so it would be interesting to see where the e7xt lands between the two. Also how they compare to the HS7 and T7v which were my first choice but are no longer options in the new roob because of them being back ported.
@@jesperhagberg Recently listened to them. they blew away the rp7's but they have a very loud buzzing going on audible even from a larger distance(E8xt has it too but audible from maybe 30cm from the speaker). The buzzing was around 50-60Hz so i assume it's a transformer noise. Cheap electronic compontents?
Adams, excellent definition, almost dry, clinical. Rockets, i hear that hump in mids to get that detail,, lacking Adams definition.
Adams remind me ofJBL 305 SOUND, (which are excellent btw), rockets remind me of party speakers with really good separation but a little less refined than Adams.
These 7" Adams are too clinical for me. The Rockets sound fun but humped in mids, while Adams sounded scooped to me just a little but way better definition.
I would get the Adams adding warmth and more spatial information, probably would help. Rockets are fine, just not quite able to keep up with that Adam tweeter.
Must remove the environment Tho from affecting end users experience, because sparkly and clinical isn't enough.
Both are really good, not great Tho.
Thanks you very much
Los Adam suenan mejor en todos los aspectos
Does anyone know how they compare in terms of the background noise when no music is playing? I heard, that the KRKs have a really loud his when nothing is playing.
Both have significant issues with hissing and background noise
@@DSAUDIOreview thanks 👍🏻
Krk Rokkit 7 vs Kali LP-6 please!
Привет мне не понравились Kali Audio LP6 v2 - у них очень резкие высокие частоты ( это причина по которой я от них отказался)
When you say ORIGINAL TRACK what do you mean? Those are not heard through a pair of speakers?
It's the actual audio track put in postproduction. Just like you would played an audio track on your laptop/phone.
I really don't understand why still some people say the KRK's are better. The T7V's are clearly the winner.
Adam produce good sound even your track is not mixed. But krk produce at is so its your choice
New to mixing and the audio world, what are you supposed to be looking for when comparing the original track to each of the studio monitors?
Accurate and flat sound reproduction.
Id love to see you blast some pink noise through em
KRK sound much more like a studio monitor
@@goldenharvest3131 THANK))) You listen Mackie mr 524/624,?
Nop, I tried t7v and krk but t7v are WAY better, there's no comparison
I've compared the t7v and the rokit at my local music store and the adams blew the krks out of the water by a long shot. The treble on the rokits was really harsh and I wanted to go back to the adams as soon as I switched, bass was louder on the krks but not as punchy and clear. The rokits were also fairly muddy but the high mids were similar.
I've heard people call the krk monitors suitable for hip hop, trap and vice versa having to do with low bass. Thing is that you want lower bass, not louder bass. The krks don't have lower bass but just louder bass, which may sound appealing at first listen but it's not what you want for monitoring your mixes. Louder low end will pretty much result in the complete opposite result to what you may be looking for, you're gonna undercompensate the low end because of the boost in the monitors.
Trust me when I say that you have to listen to them with your own ears, a video like this does not explain how they actually sound.
Adam T7V won for me. KRK Rokit treble too harsh.
I agree
i feel the same .... I hear Adam flat .... and RP7 flat but the high frequencies more painful (a little).
Long Drive ... KRK have chorus effect in voice ... Adam is clear in the voice :)
i thing the chorus is in your brain ;) the "chorus" is the Room... you hear on krk more mids more room and this is a good thing. less mids = you mix to much mids in your tracks and then you have "chorus" on your tracks ;)
@@jenshuxley have you just copied my comment? Ok... But If you agree with what I wrote, I'm with you
@@Leonardo-nf7cl no, really no, i copy never from another people! I self test Speaker and have krk and adam experience, today i test KRK Sub10 and this thing sounds really good!
@@jenshuxley Jens Huxley lol youtube is bugged as hell and there was my comment instead of yours with your account name.... Lol... Anyway, If you have less mids you put them too high and you have chorus. But have you ever thought that krk have too much mids? I have t7v at home... I tried krk 8 but t7v are better... They are really balanced, more than you think... Krk have too much bass frequencies so in the mix you put them too low just because "on the krk sound fine" and... Let me just say it... The tweeters in the t7v are so much better than the krk... Krk's high frequencies, as most of the speaker, are just... Saturated... And not detailed than the t7v ones... This is because of the ribbon tweeter of adam audio... And then, If you watch the frequency response guide, on the lower part, t7v and krk have almost the same response...
@@Leonardo-nf7cl are you using g3s or g4?
Can you include the vault c5 monitor?
Nope. It is not availavle in my country
Adam has the ultimate flat sound. Awesome speakers
Definately Moore resolution in the Adams
Adam win. Flawless victory.
Adam to play and mix music.
Could you compare adam audio t8v vs krk rockit 8 g4 vs tannoy gold 8?
i always want to do this... listening in my Krk 7
Adam kicked ass to KRKs in rock
i dig the adams more
the adams sound good for some things. awful for others. mine seem botched. very non musical sounding. and the opposite of rich? ebaying them. i have an old pair of rokit 6s i found in my garage. and while not perfect. dont make me want to stab my screen. why is the 6 series so $$$
KRK
Best sound - original track without monitors. In my headphones)))
your headphones will also affect the sound of the song though haha, if only adam audio and KRK did headphones =D
we need to find out what they mixed the original tracks on..lol
There aren't dubs: t7v are WAY better... They are more balanced than krk and the sound from krk seems muffled... A lot of people think krk are better 'cause you can hear bass frequencies better... And yeah, bass reflex is better, but not the woofer and the twitter... For bass frequencies you could buy a subwoofer... There's a huge differenze between krk (all of them) and tv...
lmao im playing this back on krk g4 and the sound is so off from what the speakers really sound it point less to even watch these
Krk is the winner..
krks impressive but they are 145W and adams 70W
If Adam had a normal lower middle then it would be a gap
Adams much more accurate. Very good speakers. KRK's bit disappointment - not the best studio sound, and not the computer/hi-fi speaker. I expected much more from them...
Adam 🤩
Presence
Not sure if it's my headphones or the recording or but both speakers sound like they have shitty boomy bass with very slow transients and I know the Adam T7V doesn't have this in real life (not sure about the KRK G4 7s). These videos showcase nothing about a speaker. They're no better than looking at a frequency graph. You can't tell how a speaker performs when it comes to attack, decay, transient responses, soundstage, width, depth, "airiness", "sparkleness", etc. etc. Anyone who's even fairly competent about sound knows that these comparisons are highly inaccurate and relay no useful or beneficial information about the sonic qualities of speakers.
krk
Some fan boys here cry: Adammm! stop this! krk is better!
The Adam T5V are better than the Adam T7V
why?
Apparently the drivers are matched better. I tried the T7V and have to agree, there is a midrange dip but also a crossover frequency dip that's nasty.
i like the 7 more, have less highs and the to much highs is the most fail of this series, the to much bass is in combination with sub not so important.
Krk more neutral
poor ADAMS...the KRK are much better!
Listened to the Krk’s in person they are very bad
krk outperforms adams
with ease
BUEN CANAL AH
krks mids and bass are shit, adams seriosly better in all the aspects
Ce test n'a aucun sens !
adams sounds like a stereo car
there is a lot of deaf people here who think that krk is better...
Eh?
Had them both. If you want to mix low end, you go for a subwoofer. For highs the ribbon tweeter IS nice -- but maybe you care more about the range where actually 90% of the music happens. KRK is better overall, especially after room correction or configuring it with a reference mike. No need to call other people deaf if you have zero investment and information to properly test them.
Auditioned both g4s and tv adams and unless you want overly bright amt sound the g4s are much better. The transition from tweeter to woofer is so much better than the adams which always sound like two different speakers are playing at the same time. The krks are warmer in general and their tweeter wont give you a headache after long listening sessions.
The Adam do not sound very good
Ask anyone who has compared these in person and they will all tell you that the krk sounds awful, a video like this does not explain the sound too well
I listened to the krk g4s and adam t5v, t7v and a7x. The krks destroyed the adams, it wasnt even close. The krks are trully flat with a slight 8khz boost and rolled off top end. The adams extend the top end but it gets annoying real quick and there is no sense of cohesion between the tweeter and mid. The krks use kevlar on both drivers and it doesnt sound like the tweeter is playing separate from the woofer like the adams.
