I LOVE these, massive step up from my HS8's, I've used HS8's since 2007, These are so much more detailed and separation is way better, I feel like I can hear exactly what's going on, where as with the Yamahas, everything was a little bit masking and hazy.

[@N0va]

Adam Audio does a great job with these but I still think the NEUMANN KH speakers are just better in every way. good job Thujan

[@ThujanK]

🥳🥳🥳

[@woutervdbroek4176]

Sorry, but i disagree. I owned both the neumann kh120 and the adam t7v and although the neumann is technically better, it is too clinical so for music listening i liked it less then the t7v.

[@N0va]

@@woutervdbroek4176 beauty of this hobby is everyone has a different opinion. I owned both and returned the Adam's very fast while the Neumann's have been in use in our studio for the past year.

[@filipkrstevski5449]

Also the Dynaudio BM5 MKIII is better for audiophile listening

[@vtkz]

Neumann is in most of the times better than most of the Hifi Stuff and Studio Speakers. A KH310 and your search for the best, flat frequency response has an end. The Question is, do you want the truth or do you like, that the loudspeakers ,,lie,, so the Sound is more pleasant... i love my KH310

[@gregorkluth2857]

Damn I thought they would bump the price up to 800$ for the 8 inch version but this is just amazing

[@ThujanK]

Yep! 😁

[@ProjectOverseer]

I owned Adam A-7's in the studio for a few years. During a move they spent a few weeks in storage and ended up flood damaged. I bought a temp pair of speakers to hold me over until my insurance paid out ... I bought the M-Audio M3-8 ... Studio mid field 3 way speakers with a Rosewood baffle and 240watts a side built in amplification. Not only am I still using them, I bought a second pair for the studio - an absolute steal at £450 a pair. Best results used in balanced mode. On good stands they can be used as very respectable HiFi speakers.

[@aabuahro]

A Studio monitor is a good Refrence point for the sound engineer, cause the frequency response is flat, meaning what you hear is what Ull get after the mix. let’s say your making a base line on a regular speaker and this particular speaker is not flat and it’s emphasis the base region, so as a studio engineer you will lower the base line dB ending up with a mix that has no base.

I found the Adam Audio T5V had a lot of Bass and Detail, great sound from TV and Listening to Music

[@AB-yd5gl]

These are nice, but if you haven’t heard the Emotiva Stealth 8 (if you can find them), you’re missing out. They are incredible, hence the price.

[@charlietuna127]

I have to agree, they sound amazing !

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Thank you for a great review, Jay!

[@saadh3364]

I don’t think you watched the video...

[@RandomNoise]

Great review!

[@HareDeLune]

Great review! Hey Thujan, Have you ever heard of Gallo Acoustics? Would love to see you review some of their speakers.

[@ThujanK]

I have heard of them! I'll inquire and see if I can get their speaker in for review. 😁

[@HareDeLune]

@@ThujanK Thanks! They have several different models and price levels. I have seen reviews of the Micro and the Strada, but I don't think anyone has reviewed the a'Diva SE.

[@nicolesantos7201]

What about comparing with Kali in8 v2? If worth the extra 200. Great video.

[@thehottestbeatz]

That’s what I want to know as well

[@yuckysamson]

Compared to the fynes with a decent amp? Thanks, Thu-Thu....

[@ThujanK]

Well the Fynes will need a subwoofer to compete in terms of extension. Won't have the same dynamic headroom (for bigger rooms) unless a highpass filter is utilised in conjunction with a subwoofer. As for tuning, Fynes are sweeter in presentation. They have more depth and wider soundstage (truely holographic). The fynes are also livelier in presentation with a smooth top end. But to be fair the Fyne F500 with a decent subwoofer and amp cost roughly 4x what the Adam Audio T8V require.

[@marcbrummel8566]

Nice, thank you. 😀 But there are two groups of audiofils, one who hount the best reproduction of sound, the others hount they're sound without technical problems. I love coloration as long its transparent and room filling. 😀 Greetings from Berlin. 😁

[@oysteinsoreide4323]

isn't transparent and coloured opposites? or am I wrong?

[@marcbrummel8566]

@@oysteinsoreide4323 coloured does not mean false or wrong. Colouration mean stage, bit of delay, sparkel. Hard to explain.

[@cybergod77]

Jay reviewed the Focal Shape previously...how does it compare?

[@adamjj85]

How do you feel about an additional A/D conversion inside for the use of the DSP on these types of monitors? If you have a good DAC upstream it sort of becomes irrelevant as whatever DAC they are using inside supersedes it.

[@adamjj85]

@hifi sense If there is an active digital crossover then you need to convert from analog to digital to use it, then back to analog when passing to the amp.

[@thehottestbeatz]

Why only 90 watts? 🤔 these seem nice though, very similar to the hs8s. Yamaha has 120 watts. These have a bigger bass port than the Yamahas so they can reach a little lower. Any chuffing from the port when playing loud? The Class d amps won’t get hot like others. I’m currently debating which ones to get, my top 3 are the new kali in 8 v2 Adam t8v and Yamaha hs8

[@ThujanK]

No chuffing as mentioned in the video. The power is more than adequate. If you're looking at sheer volume these speakers can hit 118db peaks from their measurements. For anyone in a small to medium size room it has plenty of headroom (volume/Power wise).

[@thehottestbeatz]

@@ThujanK a max spl of 118 is really good, I was worried about these having some port noise when playing at louder volumes. But the rear port is bigger than most other brands out there so I don’t think chuffing/turbulence would be much of an issue. Still not sure which ones I want to go with between the hs8, kali in-8 v2 and these Adam t8vs. All three seem really great but I need something that has a high spl and no noise from the ports.

[@Roof_Pizza]

Sure looks like what Emotiva sells.

[@filipkrstevski5449]

I think you must try rhe Dynaudio BM5 MKIII they are much better in my opinion and best bang for the buck active monitor speakers they are so 3D sounding wirh very good bass

[@faizmohammad7154]

Is it suitable for listening from, say 9 feet distance?

[@ThujanK]

Yep. It had no issues filling up a medium size room at roughly 12 ft away

[@freelancer1499]

was your review testing it for nearfield listening? Thanks!

[@ThujanK]

Majority of the listening was in nearfield. I did the traditional stereo setup for fun! 😁

[@PP-nh1lv]

Hey Thugen, would it be possible for you to review you own personal KEF R11s sometime in the near future? Thanks

[@ThujanK]

Sometime this month!

[@PP-nh1lv]

@@ThujanK Excellent, I look forward to it, thank you!

[@cl-zachwilliamsstudios3358]

I have ordered one pair of Adam T8V from thomann and one of them is louder both gain knobs being at 0 db. Poor quality monitos, I will return them! 😂😂😂

[@willmac5642]

Tiny amt even in a waveguide won't mate well w driver that big imo.

[@Jayiyagi]

welp. We listened to it and it does perfectly. Perhaps partially thanks to the dsp

[@PlatinumMastering]

Checkout Kali audio lp6 cheaper and better sound

[@avisionforthefuture]

not a high wife approval? get a new wife (said the wifeless man).

[@PlatinumMastering]

It’s a class D amp and very blurry sound. nothing close to ATC. A7X is way better

[@DarkPa1adin]

Dynaudio LYD range uses class leading Class D amps and it is a competitor of Adam A#X series so...

[@mmgee]

Aren’t all speakers MDF?
