This makes me realize just how much I miss the old Stereo Review magazine (the predecessor to today's Sound+Vision mag). I could always count on them to give me honest reviews and not drink the overhyped, overpriced hi-end fringe Kool-aid. (SR was one of the first to go after the myths of the hi

I just see that ADAM A5 + A7 are cheaper than the P11A. In this region I might think about using them somewhere else if they fit the place. Of course never listened to A5+A7 yet. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubunt

I own ADAM P11a in my studio. There are very good - but I'm no audiophile - so no reason to have them anywhere else than in my studio. Noise everywhere else is higher than in my studio - so I don't care much for highprices speakers there. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-
