I've had them for a couple of weeks now, and i must say that I really like these monitors. I can now hear high frequency details in my mixes that my old monitors missed. When i make subtle changes in compression or EQ , the differences are much more apparent than on my old Event TR6 monitors. The bass is much tighter. These T7V monitors do not overhang on bass notes like my old monitors did, so i have been getting better bass tones in my mixes. there is no power light on the front so i plugged them in to a power strip that has a power on light so i can see when they are on. Great monitors,..i highly recommend them.

4 Year User

I've been using these for 4 years now, and they're still kicking great! Sound quality is amazing, way better than anything I've used in the same price range. On the third year one of them started cutting out around 75% in volume on occasion, not sure what does that but if I jiggle the volume knob it comes back to full volume immediately. Happens maybe once every other month, and I don't get too bothered by it. Overall I highly recommend these beasts.

ADAM Audio T7Vs - The Best Value For Money Nearfields EVER!!!

Not being the richest small (living room) studio owner, I've always had to try to get 'best for the buck' studio gear. I have had a number of good well known brand monitors over the years that have served me well, but then I started hearing a lot of noise about the Adam T7Vs. A friend of mine called me over to his place to work on some stuff and he had a pair of T5Vs. These were really good to work with, really impressive in the high and mid range, but didn't quite do it for me on the low end. After the T5V experience, I simply decided to go for the T7Vs (especially at the bundle price). What can I say? They are excellent. It felt like I had taken the cotton wool out of my ears and heard my songs for the first time. The tops and midrange was crystal clear, with ... MoreNot being the richest small (living room) studio owner, I've always had to try to get 'best for the buck' studio gear.

Everything has become easier to balance and now my songs sound the same in my car as they do in the studio. I have already recommended these to my friends, with a couple already bought and using them (it's ok Adam, I'm not looking for commission). If you are on a budget, I can't think of many better ways to spend your hard earned cash.

Better than the HS8 and Much cheaper!

Overall:I've owned a pair of Yamaha HS8 Studio Monitors for over 3 years, I liked them, and they were the best in the price range at the time when it came to delivering accurate sound and clarity across every frequency range. When I heard Adam came out with a new line of monitors in the same price range, I though I would give them a try considering Adam Audio's reputation.I am so glad I did, the t7v's offer the same frequency response as the Yamaha HS8 in the low end despite being much smaller. Although the ribbon tweeters don't speck out at as high a frequency as Yamaha's dome tweeters, the Adams pull through with enhanced clarity that surely beats every other speaker below $350. In fact, the only speakers I've heard that were clearer in the highs had to have ... MoreOverall:I've owned a pair of Yamaha HS8 Studio Monitors for over 3 years, I liked them, and they were the best in the price range at the time when it came to delivering accurate sound and clarity across every frequency range.

Although the ribbon tweeters don't speck out at as high a frequency as Yamaha's dome tweeters, the Adams pull through with enhanced clarity that surely beats every other speaker below $350. In fact, the only speakers I've heard that were clearer in the highs had to have been the KEF LS50.The low end is super tight, much tighter than the HS8 and the high end, while not as airy, is extremely accurate and again, much tighter than the Yamaha's. These monitors are smaller than I expected, and pack a pretty gnarly punch, especially in the 70Hz - 150Hz range. They do 40Hz content extremely well considering how amazingly clear the mids are.The internal amp is noisier than the Yamaha's and the speaker needs considerably more signal to drive it than the Yamaha's. I did side by side tests for hours between the two speakers, and always found I had to turn up the gain significantly for the Adams when both speakers were set to 0 on the back. Though it's not too noisy, the white noise coming from the tweeter is noticeable if you're looking for it, the Yamaha's handled this much better.The woofer is very stiff, which is a good thing in my opinion. It seems to need more power to actually push the speaker, and being so much more rigid than the Yamaha's I guess is what gives this speaker the premium sound.The clarity is amazing in the highs! The Yamaha's high end, while nice, could be grading after a while - the Yamaha's also weren't as clear as these. I have been listening to the Adams all day at all volumes and haven't gotten tired of hearing them yet. I can hear details in percussion (especially sizzly sounds like shakers, cymbals, and hats) that were previously covered by slight distortion and a relatively sloppy tweeter. The Yamaha's high end sounded smeared in comparison.These do bass so much better than the Yamaha's as well. The clarity in the very low end is present even at low volumes! With the Yamaha's I felt like the roll of started well before the advertised 38Hz, with these I can hear 40Hz bass guitar and 808s very clearly at all volumes. I've said many times that these speakers are tight, the low end, which was sloppy on the Yamaha's in comparison, is no exception. It is a pleasure to listen to bass on these speakers.The options for room trim aren't very helpful as there's only a +/- 2dB shelf on the high and low. The gain knob doesn't snap to 0, additionally the only markings on the gain knob are -60dB, 0dB, and +18dB. Not very helpful when trying to fine tune my listening position. The "on" indication light is on the back of the speaker for some reason. Some people may like this, I do not, but if it helps drive the price down to only $250, then I'm good with it.These are excellent speakers. I am selling my Yamaha's immediately.

Excellent quality monitors

I use the Adam Audio T7Vs in my home studio that is acoustically treated with additional bass traps in the corners. The sound is very detailed and well balanced. The power is more than enough to fill your room and allow critical listening for mixing and mastering. I compared them when purchasing with various other monitors and pointed out to some others that when comparing using commercially released music, the speakers should provide a well balanced and clean sound. There are those that swear by the Yamaha HS monitors, but those overly accentuate the mid-range frequencies. They sound good, but to each his or her own. Listen, compare often and check for nuances that would sway you one way or the other. The sound from the Adams seemed to consistently keep all of the ... MoreI use the Adam Audio T7Vs in my home studio that is acoustically treated with additional bass traps in the corners.

In addition, I also own the Sterling MX5s and preferred their sound to the HS5s. Again, this is preference, so purchase what will get the job done for you.

Great monitors, even better price point

I bought a pair of these monitors to use with an AxeFX III for my home studio, and am completely satisfied with them. I spent several months researching various FR/FR options, and it came down to these and the Presonus Scepters. I took a flier on the lower price point T7V figuring that if I was anything less than thoroughly impressed with them, I'd simply send them back and get the Presonus units. Long story short, these aren't leaving me, ever. I picked up a pair of Ultimate Support MS-90/36 monitor stands, and they support the monitors beautifully and make them sound even better.

Hi Fi but not as accurate as it's been hyped

As a trance artist that's been signed to a big label I can't really recommend these monitors to anyone who mix/produce the kind of music I do, or similar (other EDMs). I have had these for more than half a year now just for your info.At first I thought these were great as they appear to be quite detailed and all. But I started to notice some problems in the mix that wasn't translating to other systems as well as I had expected it toFirst of all room is pretty big and these sound like there are no sub bass in it where as my old JBL 305's had more. Low mids are sketchy if you are mixing lots of elements altogether (for rock music or other simpler stuff you might not notice any problems).2nd: while the high frequency tweeters showed great promise, they sound more ... MoreAs a trance artist that's been signed to a big label I can't really recommend these monitors to anyone who mix/produce the kind of music I do, or similar (other EDMs).

Almost too pleasing to the point I would easily be satisfied with my mix and would notice errors when I go test my mix in the car/etc.3rd: the stereo image isn't as great as the JBL's. Sweet spot is wide but no where nearly as 3D as the JBLs were.at the end of the day you've got to realize you get what you pay for. But for this price range, the only monitors I consider "professional" are the JBLs.

I really wanted to like these spaekers

Man, I really wanted to like the Adam T7V's and there are so many positive reviews on them, my buddy even has a pair and they sounded amazing... but I had issues with them. The first pair I received had an issues with the volume when set at 0 on the speakers I had to turn the volume on multiple interfaces to Max to barely get any audible sound. I then turned the speakers up to +18 and with both the speakers, and the interface, fully maxed it was half the output that my KRK Rokit 6 G3's produce. I returned the first pair and tried the Rokit 7 G4's and due to them sounding too boxy I decided to exchanged them and give the Adams a second shot. I got them setup and all was well until I started to push them when the lows started distorting. I ended up returning them and ... MoreMan, I really wanted to like the Adam T7V's and there are so many positive reviews on them, my buddy even has a pair and they sounded amazing... but I had issues with them.

Overall: I am in the middle of returning my third pair of T7V's today. I bought a pair of HS8's to replace them, and I wish that is what I would have done in the first place. I wanted to believe in these monitors so bad, especially because the great reviews and the Adam Audio reputation. These monitors would not stop making busted noises, almost as if the circuitry was bad or the speakers themselves were blown out. I don't think Adam has this product line worked out. I'm still in awe about how people are even saying anything good about these. Like I said, this is my third return on these monitors! For this third time, I bought a brand new interface (Scarlett 6i6), sprung out for some ridiculously priced cables (like $50/piece). This third pair sounded the worst!

For this third time, I bought a brand new interface (Scarlett 6i6), sprung out for some ridiculously priced cables (like $50/piece). This third pair sounded the worst! I checked voltage to make sure I wasn't getting any power draw from my wall sockets. I checked the DB settings in the back (all set to 0db). I referenced tracks from iTunes from Top 40- Led Zeppelin. I plugged in to a balanced source as well. These monitors did not want to work, guys, and I desperately wanted them to work hence why I spend like an extra $400 to make sure my imagination wasn't running wild. These monitors are certified trash. I'd love to see a working pair out their in the wild because I just don't believe it after this many times. I was expecting the best of the best, and this was the exact opposite of that. All pairs I received lacked any kind of low end or power at all. I would have to turn my output up on my interface at least half way or more to get any kind of volume... The HS8's I'm listening to right now as I type this are turned less than a quarter on my interface and I can hear all the frequency ranges clearly, and if I turn them up any higher I get a thick low end. I'm completely blown away on how bad the T7V's sounded. I hope you guys find this helpful. I tried very hard to get these monitors to work, but you can't fix something that literally comes busted right out of the box. I did all the troubleshooting steps Adam Audio suggested, and then some, in effort to isolate the issue. My solution that finally worked for me was going with the Yamaha HS8's. Problem instantly solved, and now I can move on with my business and stop feeling like a crazy person trying to get these busted things to work. Not going to lie, when I'm ready to upgrade again, to something in $1400+ range of monitors I'll be looking at other options first, and if I ever circle back up on Adam Audio I will not be giving them as many chances like I did this time. (Adam Audio was good about reaching back to me about trying to fix the issue, but my time and emotions are already spent. After 3 pairs I'm done.)

They looked great with my new setup and I couldn’t wait to break them in and begin to mix projects on them. That dream was shattered! About 6 months in, I noticed my tweeter on my left monitor had blown out; so, I went back to using my old JBL’s and began trying to reach the customer service line for Adam Audio to discuss my warranty options. I emailed daily and called their office every day only to get the same recorded voice message for about two months (I have record of it). 8 months later I tried again because my 2 year manufacturer warranty was coming to an end. I got the same result; nothing! I got so fed up I finally decided to purchase another monitor to just replace the second one; and low and behold, not even 2 months later the new speaker blows out and I hear nothing but static. A week later I receive an email from Adam Audio inquiring about my original repair request from 2 years ago; only to tell me that my manufacturer’s warranty is now up and they won’t fix it for free. I am highly disgusted with the way Adam Audio treats their customers and I certainly will not be buying another peace of gear from them; nor will I be recommending them to any of my colleagues. P.S. I now have the Avatone CLA-10’s and I am in love with them!
