At CEDIA 2009, I spent several hours listening/testing the new line of Adam Speakers. The A7 with Sub 7 was impressive considering the environment it was in. The A5 with a Sub 7 is nice also. I have AudioEngine A5s (which I think sound good with an SB3) and the Adams are well above the AudioEngines. Not exactly audiophile in my book but a good speaker setup for smaller rooms or when space is an issue. I am also of the option that the foundation of music is built on bass, bass that is tight, deep, and accurate which is why I recommend using full range floor standing speakers whenever possible. So the A5/A7s with a Sub 7 really helps these well thought out 2 way monitors. Of course then I listened to the Gammas, Betas, and Alphas making it hard to go back and listen to the A7s. If one can afford the A7s, I say go that route over the A5. The larger woofer gives it more bottom and makes the Sub 7 blend better. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75947 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
