They are a big price hike, so they would have to be a quantum improvement for me to justify the extra cost. I see that at the moment, they are made to order, but you can go to ADM to audition them. If you could post some pictures of these speakers, it would be very helpful in seeing the quality of finish. Russell, if you go to the AVI forum, there's a review section where you'll find reviews by me and several owners including some pictures. The AVI website also has a nice picture of one with cherry veneer. In my opinion, these are a very significant advance over the ADM9T+sub. However, there is also a new and improved version of the ADM9T available (with a new woofer design) which I haven't heard but by all accounts is also a worthwhile improvement.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Powered Speakers Recommendations
Can I add AVI ADM40s to the list. I've just bought a pair and they're extraordinary (I had the ADM9Ts already).

The full history is this (long): I bought a new amp for my main system (Audiolab 8000P) which left me with a spare integrated amp (old Audiolab 8000A). I had access to an old pair of Mission 70 speakers so I thought I'd set up a low-fi system in my 'study' using my PC to get internet radio. I thought it would be nice to use Softsqueeze to emulate my real Squeezebox. The problem is that the analogue audio-out from my PC is very noisy both from the on-board audio and from the cheap PCI soundcard I bought a few years ago. I had a look in Maplin and saw the USB audio adaptor and thought it might have a quieter analogue output - it doesn't! I think the noise from the PC is finding it's way through the USB cable. Strangely, if I plug headphones into the adaptor there is no noise. This is the point at which I decided to get the Beresford DAC. As it happens, the cheap PCI card I bought a few years ago has digital out but I didn't want to use it because it has a naff GUI but I notice it does allow the sample rate to be set to 44.1kHz. Now whether this means there is no re-sampling of 44.1/16 audio I don't know. Anyway, I'm now using this card instead of the USB adaptor. I've just downloaded the most recent driver to see if the GUI has improved (I doubt it). -- Phileas Phileas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20367 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63913 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
