    Default Waffle here about anything and everything

    I'm fed up with stupid, ill-informed remarks being made about ADM9s. And then being blamed for a naff sales pitch when I correct the invariably wrong information. They are probably 10dB louder than most passive two-ways and without audibly distorting!

    The comment that hi fi enthusiasts seem to be in a seventies time warp is one that is often observed by people contacting us. It is a generalisation aimed not specifically at AOS but several Forums. I agree with it up to a point because there has been so much progress in improving sound quality over the last twenty years, much if which has passed by the Hi Fi Industry without them noticing. I wasn't joking when I said that I could see the day when Active Studio Monitors are adapted to suit Computers and iPods and overtake hi end in sound quality for a fraction of the price. I know that quite are few are already eying up the market and seeing that it's there for the taking.

    Valves and CD are pretty good too. I doubt the ADM9s could do the depth, separation and sheer involvement I get from my system these days even downhill with a tailwind.

    Hmmm, I don't know what he used to have, so I wouldn't know whether his sinature is utd or not. I just remember him saying he'd sold his amp, and was going to change his avatar.
