[@GarciaOnThaBeat]

hahaha, I was thinking the same

[@emiel333]

Yep, the T8V have more power than the T5V and T7V. The T5V and T7V have 50 watt for the woofer and 20 watt for the tweeter. The T8V have 70 watt for the woofer and 20 watt for the tweeter. Ratio wise it’s unclear to me why all the three T series have the same 20 watt for the tweeter. I’ve expected the T8V having a more powerful amplification on the tweeter too. I own the Adam Audio T7V btw.

[@joeydejong7861]

@fu J I went to a music store and listent to many monitors. Adam audio was for me the best at this price range. Their highs and mids are just amazing and their overall sound is very neutral. I use the t10s because the music genre im into ( techno, house ). The bass of the t7v is good enough bur for techno and house you want to hear the low end a bit more so i have more an idea how it sounds in a club or big place.

[@joeydejong7861]

@fu J T8v's i haven't been able to listent yet. Only what a friend has told me. T10s go's a bit lower than T8v's. But T8v's are very very good overall. I think best is if you listent to them yourself in a music store.

[@joeydejong7861]

@fu J every room is different. So placement is something you should find out yourself. There a much video's you can find about it. I don't use a foot switch but it can be used for the T10s.

[@AkilJacob]

They are better than the R3s?

[@sealkojac5]

@@AkilJacob The R3 is a better speaker from the mid and treble up. They have a more layered soundstage compared to the Adam but the Adam let me ditch the sub with their bigger fuller sound. They were close enough in performance and allowed me to eliminate a bunch of components so it's a win.

[@Quinnbee84]

Hey, how are you finding them for monitoring use at a desk? I'm producing house music and my production mentor said get the Adam T7Vs or the T8Vs, if I can afford to go up. I intend to use them at my desk in a 3 x 4 meter room (with my desk and monitor stands off the wall of course), most YT review content recommends just the T7Vs for monitoring at a desk in a small-medium room, some have even claimed that T8Vs are only for large rooms. My mentor has said that's not the case. I wanna go by what he says because he's very knowledgable (also Ableton certified and makes M4L devices etc, very clever guy), but I just need to be absolutely sure before going out and taking the plunge.. Any feedback on your experience would be greatly appreciated. :)

[@Leo-fluffy]

the resesed tweeter in the tv8 is for phasing at the xover point instead of dsp like they use in the krks edit: if your not use to the bass between 40-30 hz it can sound like to much bass on some songs since subass is just shaking your room and unless the track was mastered well the subass can be left to high in the mix making it sound abit much

[@kevinhamlett1400]

I had some 8 inch infinity with emit tweeters and I built a custom crossover for them. Had two mono tube amps on it at 75 watts each. It was astounding. The bass and treble was great. Bass was really strong also. I knocked down a picture and broke it. This was years ago. I was living at home still. Im 39 now.

[@Kavster92]

It sounds like it brought you a lot of joy! Build them again, better this time! And put them in a safer place :D

[@enjoshi-godrez8775]

Intresting how the much more expensive a8x has significantly more power, but doesn't t go as low as these. Distortion and room gain seem to be much more important factors for their professional range. Same is true for their professional subs. When you move, I hope you can request one.

@@ericpiil1518 I have the A3Xs too, although I just enjoy music on them (I don't make music). I'd like to hear Z's opinion on them as well, they are so overlooked in the AX series, it's all about the A7X and A5X it seems. Love my 3s though, but I have a subwoofer to match them with too.

getting these for redoing my computer room. its been abandoned for a year now and i feel bad looking forward to it, been wanting some loud good speakers and these seem to hit the nail on the head.

[@Dede_Stepas]

I have t7v and their Adam sub8 combo. nothing can beat this combo price to performance wise. Amt tweeter beats everything but maybe titanium tweeters (like those used in triangles). Internal class d amps are good. Those speakers don’t hiss and (no one mentions it) they sound incredibly well on low volumes. And I’m actually low volume listener.

[@Dede_Stepas]

@fu J there was no t8v at the Time. And given You use sub i wouldnt buy them just because you cut everything under 85hz anyway. I would pick t5v and sub Instead of anything Else now. But. If you dont plan sub and have big table then maybe those t8v may work.

Im buying them with t10s. I dont see the problem. Buy a F smaller than.

Entertaining, but hard to take you seriously as a reviewer when every product you review is regarded as the best thing ever.

[@vrobert94]

Bro, they are sick.. And he is hella on point on 93% what he is talking about xD

[@APBXylon]

​@@vrobert94 He gets a cut from every purchase made through that link, a big incentive to hype the products he reviews. Usually a good review system follows a Gaussian distribution system where only 5% of products get a score above 9/10 and 5% gets 1/10 - the rest of everything sits somewhere in the middle. This system puts every product ever in reference and only products that deserve a good score will stand out. Zeos' reviews are 95% positive and only some are negative. This inherently poses 2 problems: no exact reference to how much better or worse compared to the rest of the stuff he reviewed and if 95% of the products he review are "best, top shit ever, go buy these asap" his opinion becomes devalued by the amount of times he said these opinions across all of his reviews. However, it is true that Zeos' way of reviewing is more of an entertainment than informative and I'm sure having to been listening to countless of different products he has a wider understanding. Still, every person has a bias on what kind of sound they prefer. For more educated reviews that has objectively better scoring system, check out Crinacle or Audio Science Review. Edit: I'd also like to add that while reviewers (not just Zeos) gets products sent to make a review - and they usually say "no money involved, they just want my honest opinion" the products that get sent to the reviewers has already been paid for, they show up on the businesses balance sheet under marketing expenses. Therefore, a product being sent to a reviewer already counts as the reviewer being part of the marketing campaign, which also mean the video is being sponsored indirectly through acts. Ultimately what I'm getting at is that conflict of interest is true no matter how "honest opinions" reviewers say.

[@lplum4892]

Treat your room, your whole whole room is shaking, that's why the sound coming from T8V is messy and blurred.

[@analogaudiorules1724]

Anyone who would be getting mad at you calling the t8v's a spiritual successor to classic Cerwin Vega speakers isn't an audiophile, they are just snobby. The classic Cerwin Vega D series is an incredible speaker line, they're not ridiculously accurate, but they do sound great, especially with restored crossovers and refoamed woofers, so if you're saying that these t8v speakers are the spiritual successor to the classic Vega stuff, they're really good...

Thing is he does use resonably expensive iem on a daily baises, yet he pretends he doesn't know what the perpose of it is to not alienate his veiwer base. I have defended him from people comparing him to the likes of unbox therapy, but sometimes that bridge is hard to walk.

[@frykauf]

​@@enjoshi-godrez8775 Yeah sometime ago I reconfirmed Lew from Unbox Therapy doesn't care at all about tech/what they review when I saw him riding his boat/yacht and his home. (the feel from those parts of the video, it's not that he has them). That's quite the contrast with Linus and people shouldn't forget that. Also we should know that we're not "normal" when we are considering audio stacks as "portable" or considering adding yet another (heavy) smart device in our pockets. Also I think limpy dongle dac experience further demolished the view on pros of the wired experience (they just suck) so even more people think of BT as the better way.

[@masterxyr]

Partyspeaker? I'm in, i need more bass without a sub ;)

[@scottbogfoot]

Zeos, can we make a tube with some 90° bends to re-port the bass port from the back to somewhere else through the use of a gorilla glued tube? You get what I'm rooting at? Also can you play more herbie Hancock? 😃Cheers from Newfoundland

[@ZReviews]

The volume and length of the tube completely changes the tuning. Even if you ported it out the front with the same size and length tube it wouldn't work the same since it is aligning the timing. It ain't easy to change it.

[@Arsonloke]

I need some good mixing monitors for my home studio. I know you recommend the ts7's for mixing, but I think they might be too big for my spare room/studio. Would the 5's be better for my space? My space is about 12x10 feet.

[@joakimsafstrom8405]

5 are more accurate :)

[@enjoshi-godrez8775]

You really need the a5x's. They are diesgned for studio use unlike the t seires.

[@drfleka]

You need acoustically treated room if you want accurate sound. After you have the room you can get speakers. Unless it's for hobby and not for business.

[@FoxAboutTown]

The tweeter size is the nail in the coffin. You’re better off getting the 5’s and matching them with the T10s Sub Woofer.

[@JustinMurray170fin]

Have you done so or listened to that combo? I was thinking along the lines of your comment & I'm glad I spotted it as it seems to make sense to me but I'm no audiophile & subs just don't seem to get any recognition on YT speaker reviews, regardless of the reviewer.

[@FoxAboutTown]

@@JustinMurray170fin i have not listened to the combo. I personally bought the 5’s but have not found the need for the sub.. the bass is good enough for the type of music i do and the space im in (small room with minimum treatment).
