So good to see Flopcat is well. Thank you guys.

Nice review

As always... Not only informative , but splashed with some gut hurting humour .. Keep it up!

Thanks for this review. After watching this and researching for quite a while, was able to find some A7V's on reverb for a about 1000 for the pair. Right out of the box they sound great but now I'm on to the next step and getting my room treated so these bad boys can really shine. You're def right about the bass being less than spectacular but is good enough for me as it stand right now. Or least until I et me a pair of Mum-8's. lol

Evening guys, here we go again another good one

Looking forward to getting my pair tomorrow :) Should be a step up from a 20 yr old cambridge audio amp and MS902s Signatures!

One of mine A7X´s second hand started humming. its 6-7 years old now, and I had them for 3 years. Out of guarantee, so I bought A77H as they were on sales, waiting for them now. Cant wait. Untreated living room unfortunately, so I will be using the adaptation to adjust them to the living room, cant wait now..

If you will get a pair, please measure with sonarworks, upload the correction file and measure again in the same position. I am curious to see the result. And test with REW or other application. THX for the video once again!

I just bought a pair of the new Adam A7V + Sub8 after trying monitors from Yamaha, JBL, and KRK. My first PC audio setup of studio monitors/subwoofer. Also using a FiiO K9 Pro ESS dac. I've always used passives like the KEF LS50 Meta, powered or integrated amp, powered SVS sub. I'm absolutely thrilled with these Adam speakers. I'm hearing details in my music, gaming, video streaming, etc. that I've never knew were there. Great video, mate!

Thanks of the video. Wish I could afford this line up. The t8vs I have are still greatest in its price range.also Adams audio helps with any issues. they sent me a new monitor with in a few days when I had issues with one.

Would love if yall did a breakdown on presons sceptre monitors

As someone else already commented, I would love a comparison to my speakers, too, but there are just too many options to make this happen with everybody's current choice. So, I will simply make a note in the back of my head that should I ever consider new monitors, I'll maybe go full Eve and get mysels an Adam.

Very interested in a kit for some very nice affordable nearfields. Hoping it would also be available in the US. I am intrigued by the cheaper two way option as well.

Hi gents, great review! Was wondering if you’d go with the the A7V or Focal Alpha Evo 65 for producing and mixing electronic (mainly house & techno music)?

Have you guys tested or considered testing the Kali IN-8 V2s? I’m so curious to see how they actually sound. I’ve not come across a pair in life, but I definitely trust your ears.

Interesting rabbit hole worthy of exploration; the vented box at moderate drive level blues... Velocity

Cheers! I am considering purchasing a three way monitors. I cannot decide between Adam A77h and Dynaudio Lyd 48. And because I am not able to hear any of my choices in action, I am curious can you elaborate little bit more on couple of things: 1) Depth of the sound (3d) 2) Stereo imaging 3) Bass tightness and depth Also I am curious of your thoughts on Adam A7v comparing in those parameters with those three ways. Thank you :)

Be interested to hear your take on the Hedd Type 07, in comparison to these. But maybe even more interested in the Focal Twin Shape. Because I wonder if it has better upper mids than the EVO 65 you guys reviewed? The Twin shape is interesting to me, because it's almost like a 3-way, but sitting between the ADAM A7V and the HEDD Type 07 in price. And possibly deeper bass than the ADAM. These A7V seem like great value, good quality two-way production monitors, but the Focals but could be nice all-day mixing monitors, maybe with less fatiguing AMT/ART/Ribbon type tweeters. Maybe HEDD Type 07 could be add more precision. But, for not much more money there's 3-way monitors, like the Dynaudio LY48 and ADAM A77H which seem to offer better value.

Great video!! 🙌I found an offer for a pair of used A7Vs just under 1 year old for 800€ in total, but I was told that the Evo Alpha twins are far better, have you ever tried them? What do you think?

Hi, would love to see you reviewing the HEDD Type 30 MK2 flagships. They have some really great idea/concepts like the lineariser or the ported/closed speakertype. Maybe in the future?

I’m currently in the process do testing the shape twin vs the A7v. So far, the twins are winning however I will say that the KH120’s and A7V’s are extremely comparable across the board with the low end of the A7V being more present and useful in non sub mixing situations, as well as the stereo image being noticeably wider and detailed.

Please review the A77h!

Do you think the mid’s are masked by the ribbon tweeters?

Curious to hear if the A77 will be able to deliver the volume and speaker capabilities to get the bass going and also have a better phantom image because I do feel these could be quite the offering 🤔

I am currently testing the a77h. I also listened to the a7v (in a different environment).

Well I'm only comparing what I have heard. The kh310 to me felt deeper and might have a greater sweet spot. I'd prefer the kh310 over the a77h, I guess. But that's why I'm testing them atm :). On the other hand the a77h could be a decent step in between and somehow I do like the tweeter :). Not sure about your budget, risk tendencies and your crafting skills, but there's might be a speaker kit coming soon from PDP!

Hopefully a new power supply design too.

I find it very odd these speakers do not have a digital input considering they have DSP. Most others in the price range with DSP do.

Sonarworks onboard is pretty nice. I’ve found their Mac app to be finicky.

Those huge ports ... looks like they will steal a lot of the woofer's real bass portion. Maybe that's why you felt the need to reach for more bass... you were missing that defined area. Do you have any thoughts on that? cheers

The ports would’ve been calculated to fit the cabinet size and bass driver size as necessary, so they’re most likely at their optimal performance point

How do these compare to the Kali audio lp 6 and 8’s

How do they compare to the S2V?

What about KRK ? ......i just ordered classic 7

Being able to demo the A4V vs A7V I went with the A4V. To me the A4V is the better sounding. My A4Vs are paired with the Focal Sub One dual 8 sub and am very satisfied. This 2.1 setup is about the same cost versus a pair of A7V but leaps better.

Currently own a pair of T7V. Do the job just fine. They go lower than these new A7V (39 Hz compared to 44 Hz), although the new A7V go a lot higher (44 Hz compared to 25 Hz). I want to go even lower than my current setup. Even looked at the T10S sub. That isn’t an option for me. The T8V go down to 33 Hz but I am also looking for better sound in general. A8H an option perhaps? Nevertheless great review James. Say hi to Mark and a cuddle for Flopcat.

Baritone guitar and an acoustic... So I Hate between torn between such a decision.

The A7V’s are definitely a league above the T7V’s, which are more low-budget-oriented. Of course, remember that there are always other options from other brands for around the same price, all of which are good performers. Possibly look at the Focal Alpha 65 EVO? There are a couple of notches I’m not a huge fan of on them, but in general they are pretty powerful and pretty accurate.

The T series is nowhere near the quality of the A series. The tweeters look identical but one is handmade in Germany and the other is made in China. If you're looking at the T7, I'd check out the Kali IN8 V2.

I’d like to like the look (and sound, of course) of these... but, as usual, all that DSP sound-correction & EQ curving (favoured by many companies these days) just makes me think all you’ll hear will be several flavours of wrong. Heard ‘flat’ they may very well sound okay... but then you’re paying all that extra money for the fiddly bits. I get the idea of using something DSP-heavy (such as the i-louds, perhaps..?) for a portable rig, to set-up quickly for a different venue every day, but... for a permanent home/project studio... would the money be spent better on treating the room, rather than jiggling speaker settings? Maybe there’s a test video in that... heavily-DSP’d speakers, in a random untreated space, versus the same speakers, totally ‘flat’ in a treated room (?) Not sure how much you’d hear of these, out in the vacuum of the asteroid belt... but I imagine I did hear several Adam engineers shouting “...that’s PWM you tawt..!!” when the graphics came up.

That’s exactly what I said in the video - the bass is a little low for my personal taste

Hmmmm... I am not fully convinced. I listened to the old A7 in a shop here in Italy. Very few minutes, just a song, compared with another brand. Adam had a high frequency response for me unacceptable. The other thing was much more balanced. But it was a not controlled test, too short, no data about source, in a little booth. So, no big value of a test. But enough to put my attention on the AMT tweeter. I love AMTs since the first big one, found on ESS, 45 years ago. This new device has everything to be selected, I love the trick to add a profile from Sonarworks. Well done Adam, nowadays this is too useful. But I only would trust my ears. And amplification is not as I like, but price doesn't allow too much of a sophistication

I thought these were very well balanced and the tweeter does not shout at you. But…they are very flat sounding, I’m not talking about frequency response. I’m talking about no depth to the image, 2D. Stereo image was meh. I agree they sound far better in the Pure mode. I just can’t get beyond the flat sounding image. My take, they are very well behaved but not inspiring. They’re going back.

Looks like emotive

Achilles of amt tweeter...
