    Are we talking about a pair of monitors or a single one? Would be really nice to have him State that at the beginning

    Upgraded from Adam P11A’s to HEDD Type 07 mk2’s about five years ago. Sooo much better, especially the low end! Very happy with the HEDDs.

    I’ve had the AH8’s for over a year. &nbsp;No complaints. &nbsp;I’m fortunate to produce and mix in a very large room and these absolutely cover near, mid, far. &nbsp;However, I did purchase a Sub, Adam 10 MKII so I could cover the low end very accurately at lower db levels. &nbsp;I couldn’t be happier. &nbsp;My mixes translate everywhere now. &nbsp;Incidentally, I produce and mix Techno and House.

    I got the focal alpha evo because of you thanks man I was originally going for the Adam T7H but you convinced me with going for a 3-way speaker I could afford for mixing hip hop

    Didn’t know this about the barefoots - can confirm Ive been able to bring my mixes back down to earth. Previous mixes were way too bright and harsh and I had no idea.

    I bought the Adam A8H&apos;s about 6 months after they released them ... absolutely overjoyed with them in every way!<br>As a note about their price being slightly beyond the scope of this comparison - you can quite often find limited time sales on them. &nbsp;Currently most of the major vendors have them at $1,499.00 right now (Spring 2026). &nbsp;I found them for $1,350.00 at my time of purchase, and Sweetwater was willing to match that lowest price. &nbsp;I honestly believe they are the best 3-way on the market at this price-point. &nbsp;HIGHLY recommend !!!

    That’s the video/livestream I‘ve been waiting for!<br>Very interesting to hear your take on this price bracket!<br><br>Hopefully you’ll get to hear the MUMs or PSIs.<br>Would love to know what you think of them compared to your Ex Machinas and similar sorts of speakers you have experience with.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
