Adam Audio of Germany


Has anyone heard any of the Adam Audio home speakers?

I attended AES in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and heard their studio monitors. I was very impressed with their designs, especially the folded ribbon tweeter, a descendant of the Heil Air Motion Transformer. They were the best sounding studio monitors in the show IMHO.

The Adam home speakers are not yet being imported to the US. I was wondering if any forum contributors may have heard these in Europe and if so, what was your impression?

You should hear the new SA7, with the Precision Devices woofers,just made for the film industry in Bollywood.The most amazing aspect was that all 7 drivers sounded like one,an amazing feat for such a large speaker.Plus the damn thing went devastatingly loud.I spoke to Klaus the owner/designer,he is really quite brilliant,and can hear really well too.Good fun.

I've heard the Adam Tensor speakers (Alpha or Beta - I don't remember) at the high end in munich and talked to the designer and to the sales person. Adam had a very small room with problematic acoustics. Under these circumstances the sound was very impressive. Adam is a small company and I assume they have small budgets - thus the small room at the high end fair.

The developer Klaus Heinz is a very experienced speaker designer some 30 years in this business. In 1980 I had bought my first high end speaker and this was the top of the line speaker from Klaus Heinz at this time "ARCUS TM1000". Honestly this was the reason why I entered the Adam room.

This year I had bought a Wilson Audio Maxx2. Klaus Heinz (or was it the sales person Max Schlundt) told me that Adam considers their top speaker Alpha as a contender for the Maxx. From the sonic qualities that I heard at the fair this may be the case.

So if you have a chance to listen to Adam speakers give them a try.
I've heard the Tensors several times in Paris, France. Great speakers! I believe they are imported in the U.S. : Adam Audio USA in Westlake Village, CA (805 413-1133
Yes, I am aware of the importer and have talked to them at the AES show and via email. They currently import the studio monitor line but not the home. They are working on it.

I am so impressed with their studio monitors that I really want to hear the home speakers. Maybe I'll pop over to Europe to have a listen. ;-)
