[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Barry, what a lovely review... Thank you so much for your honesty and thorough explanation of these monitors. Thank you as well for being a long-time ADAM Audio user with the A77Xs. We appreciate the support and love from your channel's audience!

[@45chelo]

Thank Barry for your honest review. I trust you when you say how they sound because of how you are. I've had my eye out for these for awhile, but have not heard them. Again thank you from Lakeland, Fl.

Love my T7Vs. They surpassed my expectations. The low end difference between the 3 models also is quite similar. They are amazing. I just hope I upgrade these with a pair of Adam S2V in some future

[@MKRumble91]

Last week I bought the KRK G4 8 monitors. Within 24 hours I had returned them to the store. They just did not sound right and I couldn't get over the hiss from just having the power on and no signal running through them. It wasn't anything to do with dirty power as my previous monitors had never had that issue. I swapped them out at the store for a pair of Adam T7 monitors. I have never used Adam before and only had a limited knowledge of their products given the normally high end line they produce, which is out of reach for me. I don't think I will ever use any other brand now. These are just superb in every way. I cannot fault them and they take whatever I throw at them and handle it with ease. For my studio right now, they are perfect. Absolutely perfect. I need to start saving now for a future upgrade because....thats what we do... but I can damn well say it will be Adams again. In the meantime I am just incredibly hpy with the T7.

[@BarryJohns]

Enjoy your new Monitors!!

I'm here for the contest but I will say that I love ADAM Audio! I have a pair of T57 and have been wanting to upgrade hahahaha! Good luck to everyone who enters! As always, thanks for the great content Barry!

[@NURREDIN]

I've been in love with Adam monitors ever since I saw Rupert Neve use the A77X model to test his 5088 consoles for accuracy. Even though these are less expensive that the A77's,they're still Adam monitors. P.S....It's amazing to me that the negative comments as usual,are coming from the people with NO MUSICAL CONTENT posted up.

[@ivanidea4027]

I completely agree with you on that! 🔥

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Thank you for the support and so happy you're enjoying the A77Xs!

[@andyklassen2704]

Just ordered a pair a few days ago! Very appreciative for the style of the review and your way of going about it!

[@AdamsBrew78]

My Adam A7X are one of the most expensive parts I got for my studio and one of the few things I’ve had zero regrets for buying. Amazing monitors.

[@haroldreynoldsmusic]

Barry thanks for this review. I have an old krk since 2007, while doing my research to new monitors I believe Adams are the best for my home studio. Crossing my fingers here.

[@jacquelamontharenberg]

Luv your channel Barry. I am a pro musician and producer. I have been in the music business for over 50 years. These are great speakers for the dollar. Adding a sub to help turn them into 3 ways are even better. I think your review is spot on bro. Keep up the great work.

[@jrubin7132]

I like how you explained that the T7 speakers gives you a lot of low end sound that doesn't sound weird. That is great!

[@PhotonPhitness]

this was the best review of these I've seen so far. thank you

[@TheBlackJewelz]

What a fantastic time in home studio recording we live in

[@channel8H]

Glad to hear Adam Audio isn't sacrificing quality. Would love these!

[@MBey-rk8fv]

Yesterday from this dated comment, I had ordered a pair of T7V's online. At the beginning of your review, your tone of voice and facial expression suggested that I may have made a mistake buying the Adam's. But it wasn't long into your presentation that I realize that you had a positive opinion about the T7V monitors from Adam Audio, and I didn't make a mistake. Like you, my ears detected the same wonderful responses of balance sonic ear food. Thank you so much for your exciting review and conformation of my exact conclusion about the Adam's Audio T7V's.

[@ohyeahdakota]

Love your channel and your straightforward delivery. I’ve been a subscriber for months. I liked the review and really enjoyed the unboxing at the end. Keep the vids coming! Thanks, man!

Been looking at Adams for a while now, the thoroughness of your testing has me convinced now!

these may not be the best monitors in the world but they are definitely Great Monitors! always a good reviews and videos thats why im a subscriber!

[@jturnerguitar]

those would be nice in my modest little studio. thanks for the review!

[@bobmccarroll7876]

Hey Barry, Love your channel-and personal delivery. Very professional. Most of all, I truly appreciate your honesty. Without naming names (they know who they are :), I can't tell you how many "popular" channels in this musical product and review) genre that I used to like until they became shills for product manufactures. I understand that they have to make a living but many of them don't even come clean on their financial ties to the manufacturers. NOT COOL! If you love it, say so. If you hate it be honest but gentle and kind. :) Keep up the great channel work. Cheers, Bob.

[@AlexPriceMusician]

Great review Barry. I always say when people criticize me for taking products to review that only about 25% ever get uploaded to my channel. Most I turn down right off the bat when I get the email. Some I receive, try out, and end up sending them back since there's not much positive to talk about. I appreciate your expertise and I'm sure it's similar for you. You respect your image and wouldn't endorse junk. Also FYI there's a little box you should check when you upload a product demo like this. Even if the company didn't directly pay you, they did provide the product and KZbin still defines that as a paid sponsorship. You disclosed it verbally in your video, which works too but clicking that box will make an icon show up at the beginning of the video. Every country has different laws regarding paid sponsorships and this is an easy way of following the rules everywhere. I'll always elaborate verbally at the end of the video and also in the description, though that's not required. Big fan of your channel! Keep it up.

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

Adam is known for great sound and quality. Thanks for the review because it is definitely interesting they have entered this market price point. My only suggestion would be it would have been awesome if you had played some content or sound samples through them and maybe A/B comparison to your AX7XS just so we could hear the differences in sound.

[@mrvron]

Barry your videos are great I’ve had my eyes 👀 for a long time on this monitors, but my budget couldn’t get right, so i hope to have them one day…..

[@impactovernumbers5157]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I appreciate the honest review.

[@benspiess6524]

I've had my eyes on these monitors for a while to have as my first pair to replace my headphones. From what you're saying about the lows and highs, it has me even more excited about these monitors!

[@bryanchurchill1]

This is the second time I’ve watched this review. I’m currently building a mid-level project studio. I have a pair of Mackie 824s which are over 20 years old. Although it’s hard to evaluate the Adam T7V’s on KZbin, your untethered and honest enthusiasm (“absolute shock”!) for the value, sound, bass response (“stunning”) and overall clarity (“every little thing perfectly crystal clear” and “silky smooth baby!”) makes these mid-priced monitors a no-brainer (“no fault”) choice! Great job! 👌

[@KeikoFXDesigns]

I am definitely will get a pair of these... I've been eye balling these over the Presonous speakers.

I have a video where I review a pair.

[@JAM7000]

This review sold it for me as I have other monitors (won't name) that I feel are getting the job done but aren't providing that mid concentrated projection that you describe with these ADAMs. This will be my first time getting ADAMs anything but I've heard too much good about the company, and for the price I feel this is a great investment for my music at large. Thank you for your transparency.

[@Ky6Stringer]

Hello from Kentucky! I like the design. They look really sharp; very chic! I've never owned anything quite that nice, but I hear good things from Adams, so I'm certain it's quality stuff. If I had those in my studio, I'd be "vibing!" lol... Thanks for the honest review.

I’ve also been waiting for a music store to go out of business near me so I can score some high end monitors for 40% off. But these Adam monitors will make the music coming off the reels on my sweet brown Tascam 388 sound oh so sweet! Thanks for the vids Barry!

[@keithcharles2113]

Great review! I would like Adams audio to expand this line and take on the Edifiers. This speaker with blue tooth would appeal to a broader/different audience. Somebody needs to do it. Plus some of us need a more portable studio monitor.

The T7Vs are killer. I’ve heard them at a couple places, I was actually looking into buying some! Being in a college dorm, they’re perfect for not blasting my neighbors with music while still being clear, I can’t wait to get my hands on some one day! Also, loved your review. We need more long form music content on YT with this quality. Killer stuff man.

[@thesurfjunkies]

Great review and glad to hear of the expanded sweet spot and smooth top end of these monitors Barry.

[@captainaction8100]

I agree with you Barry. The monitors are very balanced. They have good low end for the size and the highs don’t break up and stay smooth. For this price point I myself haven’t heard better monitors. I’m using hs8 right now and while those are great they do accent the low end more while the T7 has a flat more balanced sound. Great review

[@carlosserrano3985]

Love your channel and your honesty very straight in your opinion with no attachments. Those Adams monitors are very good, for the price it can give a lot. Cheers!

[@apfelmeerschweinchen58]

Really nice review! Compliments! I am searching for studio monitors and i was today in a shop and tried 4 pairs of Monitors (on the range 400-500 euro) with a lot of different music styles. Finally I could hear myself the different and beleave in my ears to makes me an opinion and i most say, definitly i already decide to by this Adam T7V. I found it more balanced than the other 3, more clarity and definition and what i would define as sound quality. I prefer not to mention the other monitors i tried, or at least which ones I took very soon out from competition, but one of them was actually quite good as well and was de Kali Audio lp6. i also liked it very much for this price range but the Adams where in my opinion enough superior to decide me to go for the Adams T7V. Actually i was also amazed!

[@Justin_Allen]

lol I watched and liked this video before your latest video. I watched it again and still think that for the price, these are a fantastic paid of monitors to have! Like another poster, I also have a older (original) pair of Mackie 824 speakers...and was looking to add these to them. We'll see if dreams can come true thank you you and Adam!

I was actually recently debating on getting some new monitors for my home studio since I haven’t been to my shared project studio since the pandemic started. Been on headphones for the most part and finally started looking at the Yamaha HS models and the Adam audio speakers. I’ve never heard them in person but from what you describe it makes me very interested. I was leaning towards the Yamahas but now I’ll hold off till I can hear the Adam’s in person one day. I’d hate to make a bad purchase. Thanks for the video and saving me from possibly jumping into the Yamahas just because I felt safe with the brand due to its legacy.

[@nunoandradebluesdrive]

these are my main monitors. also made a pair of Auratone clones, and I think I'm set for mixing. Great review.

I must say that I am intrigued to hear those folded tweeters. I am on NS10’s, so maybe they will be a bit gentler on the earhole?

well darn u barry lol. after much screwballing around i have finally gone with s1. i love pro tools but.......value. about 6 months ago i bought some lp8v2 , they are great. yesterdat i bought the the t7v. thier is definitely a reason the adams products are so popular. it is nice to be able to use my monitor controller to go between the two but i cant argue that the adams products are worth every penny. and just to say the advice you give at times about saving up a bit more to buy higher quality is all true. u buy these and they can stay with u a long time. thanks always for the content.

[@bthellam]

Thank you, Barry! One question I have is, I have the Focal Alpha 65 Evos for my primary monitors and I'm quite happy with them. I use the Axe FX XL+ for guitar and bass and have been looking for a second pair of dedicated Axe FX only monitors. Many people on Fractal's forum recommend the A7X for the Axe FX, and now that's changed to A7V's. I cannot afford them. Would the T7V's work well for guitar and bass only, or are there other monitors you think would be a better choice?

[@lakshminarayanannarayanan5723]

Hi , can we use these monitors for 5.1. Mix mid field setup, also I would like to keep it at the height of 6 feet from the ground & tilt them towards my sitting ear level. Please suggest. Thank you -Laksh.

My son has a pair of these T7V monitors. We tested them beside my KRK Rokit 6" monitors and I was very surprised at the sound. I have to agree with you, for the money, they are some of the best speakers on the market.

These would have been my number 1 if it wasn't for Kali Audio. LP-6 or LP-8. Just so much more flexible and front ported which is important to me. Great review though. Thank you.

You know, some of your reviews definitely come off some kinda negative way, but after watching this to enter the contest, it's very true that you're doing your best to stay unbiased. These monitors would be great as an "affordable" reference for mixes in conjunction with some higher ends monitors for sure, just to make sure everything is translating well. Nicely done!
