Hi Dave,

We need to kill the AVI annihilation-fest right now and leave the ADM speakers alone, as they play no part in AOS in my opinion.

As long as Ashley James, Farney, and other blinkered puppets of their ilk, continue their ridiculous campaign against 'legacy hi-fi' on the HDDA forum, then their toy computer speakers are fair game for appropriate ridicule ;)

Marco.

Who actually looks in there except you and me (and the ADM owners)?

Yup, that's the same series as my amp so probably has similar innards and sound.

I have no idea how it measures, but it sounds very very good and exerts impressive authority over my current speakers.

:scratch:

Well, I have no interest in that forum and care even less about what they say.

I was just responding to Dave's comments ....

It's just that their current products don't hype up the mid bass as most small boxes do..

IMHO the ADM9 is a deeply flawed product and should never have been released onto the market. I suspect that it is only the superbly enacted marketing hype that sells these abominations. I agree with Marco in that I would not classify it as a high fidelity product. It has low-fi sound at a mid-fi price.

Based on my experience, the older AVI kit is an entirely different story. I suspect that the difference lies in a change of leading role within the company - it used to be audio engineering-led, it is now marketing hype-led. Very sad, but probably very profitable!

I said i wouldn't answer, so I won't, except to say that like going from a big fast car to a little family shopping-trolley, owner/lovers of good big speakers just can't and won't understand small ones, no matter how good they may be (or not).

Anyway, give it a week or two and Jerry will have changed his amp again ;)

And didn't you also listen to them at the one and only hi-fi show AVI demonstrated them at a couple of years ago? I seem to remember the word "anodyne" being used as part of your vocabulary ;)

Basically, since AVI gave up making REAL hi-fi equipment (i.e. separates and proper sized speakers), they've abandoned any notion of producing equipment which qualifies being labelled as high fidelity!

Marco.

P.S Sorry, Alfie!

:lolsign: No worries Marco, I'm used to it now! ;) I'll just enjoy mine quietly! :sofa:
