http://www.adam-audio.com/en/home-audio/products/compact-mk3/description the black ones of these are sexy as hell.. Does anyoe know if they are any good and would suit my amp?

[The Vinyl Adventure]

Hi Hamish,

PM Adam (beobloke) here - he knows a fair bit about those, as he's reviewed a few for HFW :)

Sensitivity looks to be lowish and the nominal impedance is too.
Can't find a frequency response graph anywhere, so there's no telling how they'll get on with your amps.

It's gonna be a case of suck it and see.
Hope it works out for you:)

[The Vinyl Adventure]

Yeah, it's odd how little there seems to be on tweb about them

[Stratmangler]

Best I can find is this.....

Might be worth talking to the distributor and see if he can shed any light ?

[The Vinyl Adventure]

Cheers chris...
Just had a chat with a chap at my mates dealers who is standing in whilst they are on holiday... As it turns out he use to work for Adam him self and is going email "klaus" the designer for me and find out the impedance curve... Is sensitivity an issue if I'm not to worried about volume...

[Stratmangler]

As a rule I'd say the flatter the curve the better.
Makes it an easier load for the amp.
If the impedance doesn't dip wildly below 4 ohms you should be ok.
Do you have a 4 ohm tap on the amp outputs ?

[The Vinyl Adventure]

Yeah I do, what constitutes "wildy below"?

[Stratmangler]

Steep and low.

[Marco]

Hard and deep...... :eyebrows:

Marco.

[The Vinyl Adventure]

Nice!

Ok this is the response... Sounds positive
Hi Hamish

I have had a conversation with Germany and the impedance is 4 ohm on the compact and remains stable too this should have no adverse effect on your current equipment, hope this helps
Warmest regards

Mark

[Stratmangler]

Sounds promising:)
