I've had a pair of Adam A7V for about 14 months and am extremely pleased. They sound pretty good without a subwoofer, but I recommend adding one if you like tight, punchy bass.
What @Klonatans wrote above...
I recommend you choose a different subwoofer. I sold my Sub8 after a few months because it never provided the punch I wanted. The Sub8 is better suited for the A4V, IMO. I switched to an SVS SB-3000 and am thrilled with what I hear now.
If you're still...
I switched from using dacs to an audio interface a couple weeks ago. I got the Apogee Duet 3 LE bundle (Duet 3 + dock) and couldn’t be more pleased with the performance. My speakers are Adam Audio A7V and SVS SB-3000. They integrated seamlessly with the Duet 3...
Conversely, my music, along with games and videos, sound great through my E70V and the additional AD/DA conversion and DSP processing of the A7V. :rolleyes:
I tried the SMSL D400 Pro (single 9039 Pro) and it sounded like nails across a chalkboard through my Adam A7V speakers. It got no better after a full weekend of use. Maybe that dac just isn't a good match for the A7V and industrial/electronic rock? Glad I gave it a shot, but I'll stick with what...
For almost 2 years I used a pair of iLoud Micro Monitors with my laptop setup and was very pleased... until I saw Z Reviews' take on the Swan OS-10. Gave'em a try and was totally surprised at how much better they sound than my Micros. These little Swans were about $100 less expensive than the...

My last speakers were the LS50 Metas. I drove them with a Parasound integrated amp, but wanted to go with a power amp once I started using separate dacs. Some of my talk radio friends suggested I take my KEFs to a local Guitar Center and try them with different amps. The guys at GC were super...
Yeah, I get it, but he doesn't seem to be bothered by it. I didn't know you were an Adam Audio guy. Good to know there's more of us out there. I was a passive speakers guy for over 20 years until switching to the A7V after hearing a demo last summer. Ain't never going back!
Definitely some strong Geisha/Buddha vibes in his audio room.
He's also got quite a collection of dacs. Our brave little E70V looks like a toy in comparison.
Well, now we know what's in your mind. I made no comparison between the E70V and E70; never heard the latter. I simply stated that I was quite pleased with my E70V. I've spent as much as $1800 on a dac (Denafrips Pontus 2) and could tell no difference in audio quality between it and my E70V. I...
