Well, let's look at it positively.
No matter what Alfie changes his ADM9's for, it'll be an upgrade! :eyebrows:
.... OK, OK; enough already! :peace:
Actually, an ADM9 fan of my acquaintance has just changed to the 9.1 with an AVI sub, and is most pleased indeed.
:lolsign: Jerry, No worries mate ;)
I know they're not everyones cup of tea, & that some of the claims about them are a little over the top, but flawed? It would be no fun at all if we all liked & owned the same kit!
They do work me very well in my 2nd system, but I did pick them up for very little money! Upgrading to 9.1s isn't an option though as they only have 1 sub out! where my early 9s work well as 2+2 :eyebrows:
Cheers, alfie
P.S. Jerry you just might need your ears testing :ner::lolsign:
Whoa! :eek:
AVI kit is like rabbits ... how did this happen? :scratch:

Arrived yesterday. Very very nice indeed .... but is the onboard DAC quite up to my Theta? ..... a fair bit of listening and component/cable juggling and a combined review of amp & cdp will follow. :)
Interesting, Jerry! Like I said before, that stuff is from when AVI used to make proper hi-fi equipment ;)
I've always loved the "Laboratory Series" moniker, though.... As if somehow the illusion of 'laboratory testing' added kudos to the design! :eyebrows:
Marco.
Come on Jerry, let us know how you're getting on with the MBLs? :eyebrows:

Ah well, I only got 'em last Wednesday, and they are said to need 100 hours of running in.
They seem satisfactory so far. I might go as far as to say that they are rather good. Decent vfm, as it were.
They do seem to need running in, though.
Each speaker has two 8.5 inch woofers and the phrase "tight as a duck's arse" immediately sprang to mind with the bass ... really needed to loosen up - which they are now doing. I guess I've got less than 20 hours on them so far, but the bass is loosening and starting to bloom, and the 4 sets of drive units (2 cone woofers, 2 5.5 inch cone lower mids, 1 Radialstrahler upper mid and 1 Radialstrahler tweeter) are getting noticeably more coherent ... the sound is jelling into a unified whole.
3D imaging was startlingly good to begin with, and is getting better. Detail/rez was also fab, and is now beginning to settle into a more relaxed and unified presentation.
They are on 30 day trial from Audio Emotion ... but I rather suspect that they are keepers.
Many thanks to my wife,:cheers: who suggested I buy them in the first place. ... they are way beyond my normal hifi budget!
Currently driving them with my 300wpc (4 ohms) AVI Lab Series integrated, which is doing a fine job with these allegedly difficult speakers .... but I must admit that they do seem to be crying out for valve sound - I'd bet that would be a great combo .... I have my eye on something that may be suitable. :eyebrows:
Just read a review - fascinating speakers, proper 'Hi end'.
You going to be selling your Infinity then Jerry (he hinted) or have they already gone?
I see you haven't told us here about your blown Theta Jerry...
