Adam Professional Audio A7X 7" 150W Active 2-Way Studio Monitor (Single)

FOLDED RIBBON TECHNOLOGY DELIVERS ACCURATE, NONFATIGUING SOUND

The Adam A7 was the second little brother (only surpassed by a 5 inch smaller one) in the adam monitor family. It has a bass exhaust port in the front, a (you guessed it) 7-inch speaker cone and the ART tweeter that is the trademark of Adam Monitors.

What characteristics have motivated your choice? Especially the reputation of ADAM .... For what purpose?

Adam speakers do sound like an accurate & details speaker. Quote that word "sound like" which means they are not in fact. They give a lot of preference focus, but that doesn't mean they translate honestly. (especially on low end). A7 provides a lot of features but it didn't QC well enough.

I've owned a pair of these for a couple of years now and here's my take: -The high end is very crisp and detailed due to the ribbon tweeters. -They are well made (as are most electronics manufactured in Germany). -Decent for monitoring mids.

I worked for years with A7. I had to work very hard to clean 150hz-600hz in order to get mixes that soud ok in most places. I though it was just hard to get. Then I tried other boxes: focal an K+H... Huge revelation to me. Now it takes me half of the time to get much better mixes.

I had a pair for 5 years. Bottom line, they are great if you are on a tight budget. I personally like the ribbon tweeter (very efficient) and thought they were great in the highs. The lows are a bit anemic, but usable. My biggest issue was the midrange blur on these.

Construction : On this monitors you can find the german high quality..With 6.5" woofer and ART ribbon tweeter you will get 46khz to 35 khz freq range.. Sound : great sound with excellent stereo image , on the mid low you can find that they have a hole sometimes and the high freq are a little bit...

Adam Audio A7's Overview Question: What are they? Answer: The A7's are active two way front port nearfield monitors. German engineered, China assembled, thus the affordable price. The speakers are 6.5“ Rohacell/carbon fiber woofer and a ART (35kHz) ribbon tweeter, both powered by two 50 W amplifiers...

Let me start by acknowledging that there is a bit of subjectivity and variables in rating monitors. However, my conclusions seemed to be much different than expected, thus, I feel this is worth making into a review. These monitors are amazing for what I paid!
