Best:
Genelec 8030C
RME DAC ADI-2
Sennheiser HD650
JDS Labs Atom+
Worst:
Avi DM5, Avi DM10, Avi DM12.
I guess most people here are from US so less likely you will ever have a chance to hear this crap. I bought all 3 models seduced by business owner (Ashley James, ex ATC sales manager) and his never ending lies on how good his speakers are. When I bough first pair (DM5) I couldnt belive how mids heavy with no bass the speaker can be. I wanted to return them and he said I cant return as they are custom made. So not wanting to lose money I went for double the price and bigger DM10 hoping I will get more bass. No joy. I got BK sub and they were now better. But I was constantly fiddling with eq and the sub was only good at the listening position and not so good in other parts of the room + the veneer on my pair had some stains/discolouration (which was investigated and replaced by the company). Sold the sub and when Avi announced they are making bigger DM12 I bought that for £3000. Little more bass, but mids were just as bad as always. The bass and treble controls at the back of the speaker could not help.
I sold them and the nightmare is over.
The DM12 had some problems with the veneer but the company was closed for good and I couldnt get them fixed.
All 3 models sound signature was very close to ATC small speakers efforts. (I compared DM10 side by side with ATC SCM11).
Second worst was Auralic Aries streamer. Piece of junk that never worked as it should with another arogant owner as an unwanted bonus.
