Where do you get all those funds from, anyway? :-)
Now i'd really like to see that equipment that you guys use. It makes me
drool badly.
I've heard some people saying that the Adam monitors are the best thing
since sliced bread (especially the mid-fields and above, such as the
S3A). Quote: "more accurate than most high-end headphones" which i find
hard to believe.
They are very good (IMHO). We compared a bunch of speakers for one of
our spaces at CCRMA (8 speakers in a ring around the listener), using a
pro cd player connected to a switcher box and then to the speakers
directly (in the studio, so no noise or external interference), levels
calibrated to within a db and the S3A's were the best, we ended up
buying four S3As and four 2s (the lineup included Mackie 824's, Tannoy
800A and JBL - can't remember the model, something like 32's - and Adam
2 and S3A). What I mean by imaging is that with the S3As you heard
the music, not
the speakers, if you know what I mean. On everything else the speakers
were definitely there.
Yeah, i definitely know. That's what i've heard from other sources as
well. They were also (m)uttering something about "perfect accuracy".
But if the price quotes that i've seen are realistic, they're definitely
out of my league. One could buy a sportbike with those money. Or a
second-hand car.
I have four 824's at home and they are fine, very
good the the price (a
little too much bass), but after listening to the Adams, well... but you
have to have a fat wallet :-)
Please don't make me sad. :-D
Where did you bought them from? Dave Bryce?
