Adam T5V

I am a pro FOH engineer. I wanted a pair of studio monitors so that i can do some work from home, mix some multi tracks from previous shows, edit radio spots and when we start working again i will use them as reference for virtual sound check. I used to own a pair of Genelec 8020A and i have heard lots of studio monitors which are in the more expensive price range as they were installed in recording studios i've been.
I can say with confidence that the Adams are the best in this price range. They clearly sound as they are "upper shelf" equipment.
The sound is full in the whole frequency spectrum except from the lows to low mids where they have small dip there, but thats not something that i really miss. I actually think that i helps with the overall clarity of the monitors which is exceptional. It's just something to have in mind for the one's that use them for mixing.
That said, the overall lows of the monitors are extremely well defined not muddy and punchy. Now for the sub to low region of the spectrum they are so so full for the size of the speaker. I like bass but i like clean bass. And they deliver. I think that there is no need for sub except for the one's that may use it for movies. Definitely not for mixing. I had a sub in my previous setup and when i heard them i took it off. Also the +2db makes up for those who may want a little more bass.
The Mids are represented very nice.
The highs are just silky. Their frequency response is stellar for the money and the clarity they provide is just unheard for this price range.
Also the thing that they are not ear fatiguing is true thanks to the ribbon.
Also the soundstage they provide is huge. It's very wide and every instrument is well positioned in the stereo field.
Overall they are very analytical, full sounding and fairly flat. A good recording is going to sound very very nice. A bad one will get "busted".
So the pros are all these.
As for cons, is that they have the power button on the rear. But i have plugged them both on a power tile with power button so i can power them on and off easily. So not that much of a problem.
Another is that i would much appreciate if there was a distinct position for 0db as the volume pot moves freely.
If this is your price range, then get them with no hesitation.
They are going to deliver more than you would expect.
