me too.
For same or less money you can walk home with better sounding comparable ADAM Audio speakers engineered in Berlin, Germany. Try the Adam T8V or if you can spend more, the A7X. I had long time the A77X on my wish list, but after some malinvestments in Studio monitors from Akai Pro, Behringer, Eve Audio, KRK. A Dealer showed me my favorite A77X. Just for fun we switched between the Adam and the Eve one. Adam was the one preferred.Than came Focal in the A/B Soundcheck. What the hell, the clarity, it was undiscribable different. I discovered many things never heard before, like havin glases for your ears, so I bought a pair of these Focal twin6 be. Later there was a good offer from Adam Audio about the S3X-H (reference Monitors tech Award). I bought them to compare and hear if they could compete with the Focals. What should I say? I liked the Adams so much, I kept these too. Over time I realized that I only use the Adams, so I sold all other Studiomonitors and bought a second pair of Adams S3X-H, not the cheapest decision but truly the best sounding one with any music genre.
If I regret something, then that I have tormented myself and my ears for so many years with compromises and a second-class sound …
