That burn-in tip is sick!
The intro to this video shows real commitment to making quality content! I'm laughing way to much. Thank you for this evening dose of endorphins.
Thank you Gustavo! Lots of hard work went into the intro, we’re so glad you enjoyed watching it! :)
Had the T5V on my desk basically since they came out. Swore to get the 7V for my living room once I moved out. Then the T8V came out. They arrive in 2.5 hours. I’m so excited.
That intro.... you guys are so good! Excellent content, stellar production, and hilarious 😂 wow, thank you so much
This just gets better and better, updated “The Two Ronnies”
I swear after first minute I've got so hysterical I couldn't watch it further... eventually calmed down but boy was I wrong expecting to be able to follow the review... now after 30 minutes I'm all in sweat but happy to finally ending your review! Thank you for the genius and passion you put in creating for us this videos! 🔥🔥🔥🤪
Awww! Thanks for watching and taking time to post such a lovely comment ❤️❤️
Top tier b roll in this one
Great piece of kit, even greater comedy! You guys never disappoint!
I really like that channel, I'm sure you're great to work with! You're doing a great job combining entertainment and information. While being silly in a pythonesque way, you keep enough focus to the topics themselves.
Thank you again for another great video! ( The interlude gave me a good smile )
Thanks Peter! ❤️❤️
Absolutely brilliant content. The mix between comedy, useful infos and nice editing makes this channel golden.
Thank you! :)
Discord notification squad! 🥵🔥
Nice! Looking forward to the next video of the cabinet improvement! Gonna fill my T7V's as well
Wonder if i could do the same with my Focal Alpha 80s? As they are out of warranty, now, i guess i could remove the back panel to check the interior of the cabinet...
Why not!
I LOVE THE INTRO!!!
I love my T8V’s, very happy with them, leased the T7V’s for 6 months and bought the 8’s without hesitation 👍🏻
Now I'm cracking up! Thanks for the giggles (and the review)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥= ☠️. The preceding equation, means "Don't play with fire". Top class as usual!😺
What an intro 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you for the great review!
Thank you for the speakers - we can’t wait to get the next video completed too! 😎
What a great start, the work you guys put in is really appreciated, cheers me up no end!
Thank you, Murray! We’re always happy to cheer people up!
Love You guys. Knowledge and humor. Great stuff. Keep it up!
Thanks Jonas :)
Adam Audio studio monitors are my favorite. And also my current monitors (T7V it is). Looking forward to the next follow up video of the T8V.
I think so. I got mine in march, and love them.
This channel deserves at least 100x the views & subs that it has. just sayin'
Lava out my nipple was a classic …..thats insane dude i laughed and pissed my pants at the same time you guys are crack ups…you certainly switched it up!!!!
Getting your Audio Smurf war cry on at 4:06, love it.
Everytime I watch one of your videos my day get so much better hahahaha
Another pair of monitors that blew me away for the price were the tannoy reveal 802. I know a few sound engineers that tested them in an anechoic chamber and thought their measurements were wrong because of how flat the curve was. Plus the tannoys are front ported which can help if your room acoustics is suboptimal. If you get a chance, check them out or the tannoy gold 8. Would like to see what you think of them :)
You Guys are awesome - I was listening through headphones and didn't realise how loud I was laughing until my wife advised me that I woke her up at 2am!! - The rollocking was worth it.
cracking me up every single video still love it thanks
why are you two so damn funny?
Most ridiculous, yet best intro yet! Glad the vids are back
Have you heard a pair of Kali IN-5's? Same price, three way, absolutely superb. In this price range they are an absolute steal and I couldn't find anything comparable unless I spent a whole lot more. For two years I was going to buy Adams... I bought the Kali's! Had them two months and they are wonderful.
We’re trying to get our hands on a pair!
You guys are on fire with these latest videos and the post p.
Thanks Mr Smith! ❤️
Oh man I can't wait for the S3H review!
The greatest unboxing of audio gear i have ever seen. Podcastage would be so proud hahahaaha
Thank you 😎
amazing production quality and content
Once again, amazing video guys!
Adam ribbon tweeters set off my tinnitus no end - dunno why - they just do!
This review is 🔥
Thanks for the great review!!🙌 Do you think it might be worth spending more than twice as much for A8V? Or do you think the jump in performance from T8V to A8V is not worth the price increase?
Quality video as always 😂😂
This is the direction that audio channels need to go in :)
you are the best. laughing is like a virus.
Best INTRO ever. How will you ever top that?
Thanks! We were wondering the same thing... working on it now!
Needed a laugh, thanks for the fantastic video. Think the shirts look better after the unboxing 😂
Yeah, we’re not too bothered about losing those!
this is the most I've laughed at yt video lol. you guys truly are a blessing
Very funny, entertaining and useful info. Great job.
I love your humour and studio kat
Studio cat rules! Although he’s been a naughty boy this week and getting himself locked in neighbours units overnight!
can you review the Kali in8
Kali will be sending us some in January 2022 - we’re waiting for new stock to come in. So hold on tight, it’s coming soon!
Freaking production is awesome
Thanks Andrew!
Quality!
good information and good fun, 2 birds killed with a single stone
by the way i am looking for an affordable upgrade to my jbl 305 {because they hiss} in a near field desktop setup at low volume, any suggestions ?
Nutters!
Best unboxing ever...
FFS this is comedy gold... less than 30 seconds in and im crying from laughing
What would happen if you put a sock in the port?
I wonder what is written on the prompter that makes you laugh so much ! That's contagious :-D
James here - Before we start recording, Mark makes stupid noises, as shown towards the end of the video, and I just can't concentrate from then on, it's an utter nightmare! Love it!
I have a brand new pair of these. I'm eagerly anticipating the modification video.
Btw, Adam Audio doesn't share your concern about the rear firing port and proximity to the wall, as there are controls and connectors that prevent it from being flush up against the wall anyway.
A frequencies that low we’re talking several feet rather than a few inches 👍
Actors' Studio. Nothing less!
😂 You daft sods... Informative lunacy as ever. Thank you...
Great review guys top class & very funny. Can you please review the Output Frontier moniters. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Also, thanks for the suggestion, we can check them out. Cheers :)
@@PresentDayProduction Looking forward to that many thanks & great channel.
Epic video! :D I do not have any speakers yet, just headphones. I will probably go with the T5V when the time arrives, as my dedicated room is not much bigger than these monitors. If I put my desk in it will it sort out the resonance? :)
6:00 I just know you were playing clips of farts to test the low end response.
Hi thanks for the video
I’m trying to decide between the Adam t8v and the focal alpha evo 80
I try to make all kind of music.
What are your thoughts on?
The above
I’m looking at Focal speakers now…considering between Adam, Focal and Genelecs…
Try them all if you can - they all sound very different!
Speaking of out of their boxes...You lads been hitting the bong a bit early today...you need to get sheeps wool..unwashed and stuff those cabinets.
Been using the T7Vs for the past year and they have been so good to me. Took some time to learn them properly, and only problem I have had is when I use the genelec monitors at my school i mix my mixes too dark since I am so used to the Adams which are a bit darker.
But I would love a tutorial on how to further soundproof the cabinet on them!
Nice to see more approachable speakers being reviewed. I'm curious whether you tested Eve audio speakers already? The company started when a bunch of people decided to leave Adam audio and open new company. They are targeting the more expensive line from Adam though, like the A7X for example.
We can certainly look into this!
I would like to have your opinion on the Tannoy Gold 8. Coaxial design like your old Tannoy DMT 15.
We love the Tannoys, and worked on them for years and years, but once you’ve heard them side by side with something with that ATC mid dome in them then, for us, there’s no going back
Still waiting for that next Adams video on how to improve its performance.
We’re working on it!
@@PresentDayProduction sweet!!!!!!!!!
Silly, silly boys.... :-)
FIRST MF's!
Ayyyyy finally!
@@PresentDayProduction Reclaimed my throne
0:30 When you test your mixtape through your new set of monitors...
All the laughing when you started talking about the low end and the cabinet made it difficult to understand what you was saying. We appreciate your review, but try to limit the laughing please.
I got the Adam t8v today. My t8v lose power when playing to the max setting. The highs fad in and out and low end sometimes give up. Every time a kick comes in it makes a popping sound like it Distorted or something I’m new to studio monitors.
Thank you guys for the reviews. They're super helpful. I'm really considering buying a pair of these bad boys for mini-party listening and mixing bass heavy electronic music or hip hop as they're a renounced brand with an attractive bass. Though i'm also considering the Kali IN-8's 2nd wave as it's a three way monitor and considerably stronger at a very good price. What are your thoughts on this comparison?
We personally prefer the Adam’s in this particular comparison. The clarity and detail is a little better on the Adam’s.
@@PresentDayProduction I'm glad that you took the time to answer! I respect that, and after watching your videos and others I'm most likely to avoid the Kali's. Since I made this question tho, I also found a really interesting pair which is the KRK 10-3 G4 . A 3-way monitor with a 10-inch woofer that goes down to 26 hz as stated from the manufacturer. I'm serisouly considering those as they are from an also well-knowed company, topping the end of my budget and I think would complement my taste in music in general, which is old school bass heavy trance- techno. Do you have any extra thoughts or experiences with those or my thought process? How would you compare the low end as a comparison to the T8V's? As i struggle to find a well constructed review with these , I would highly appreciate it.
I haven’t heard those particular KRK monitors, however from those I have heard, the bass end seems slightly exaggerated. It’s definitely worth waiting a short while until we receive the new ADAM’s - we heard them at a private press listening event about two months ago and they are actually pretty good, and we will be doing a review on them as soon as they arrive
@@PresentDayProduction Wow. Thanks for the info.I was actually searching for upcoming ADAM's on the net but didnt find nothing. I'm currently working for summer season on a Greek island on a room that If I putted the KRK 10's inside I would have to sleep on the beach! So my musical satisfaction fantasies are for a pair of big woofers to warm me up in the cold nights of winter! So patience is key in my situation! I might be asking a lot at this stage, but you drew my curiosity for sure! Do they have 8 inch + subs? are they 3-way? do they go as low as 25 hz or 20 ( would be an insta buy ^^) ?? are they rear- ported? I believe in those guys. They can innovate and make really cheap and great sounding speakers if they want!
There are 5 different models:

Ah ha ha ha ....kin muppets...great video lads ... just brilliant
Thanks
Please make the mod video for these!!!!
Done!
Proper Deep Belly Laughter Productions strikes again! 😂
someone maybe watch
ed too much red dwarf as a kid
Yep, and then went on to do a fair number of gigs and radio shows with Craig Charles. So it’s all his fault!
What is the minimum distance from a wall for these to sound at their best ?
That really depends on the rest of your room. Watch our video here for help:
ua-cam.com/video/AcyzWiW9wqQ/v-deo.html
What in da hell you guys smoked?!? 😂
You are trying to kill me (lmao)
Guys loved your video intro ❤️😎👍
It must of taken a lot of thought and work.
Hope you were well paid for your hard work ?
I hate all Adam speakers and have done ever since they hit the UK.
They don’t sound real and never will do in audio systems or studios
We weren’t paid for this review, just given the speakers as a gift, but of course, we are always unbiased and say what we feel. They’re good but have space for improvement, which will be covered in the next video!
jeejjeejje...are u guys hiring perhabs???
5:26 😂
Some people think they're actually funny, and also really smart...
You know I would still watch your great reviews without all the effort you put into the intro's. Just saying... Anyway love you guys.
But it makes it more fun for us to make, and (usually) more fun for the viewer!🤪
@@PresentDayProduction no no you misunderstand. I laughed it was good!! I just mean the effort is a lot. And your reviews are top shelf already without them. Now I feel bad. :(
I am glad you blew up those shirts, they weren't good at all. ;)
It’s alright, only playing around! Don’t feel bad! We love what we do and we love our viewers for making it possible
Hey, guys... you’re on fire (etc)..!
Q: Why is new pair of monitors like an F1 Team with constantly colliding team-mates..? A: They need to have better integration between the drivers.
I can see why you consider the Yamahas as their ‘nearest competition’... what with your other speakers being at the back of the room.
Though, the fact that you both prefer different settings demonstrates that the idea of a Holy Grail ‘perfect/flat’ speaker is bollocks... just pick a pair you like and learn how they translate.
Burn-in is certainly a ‘thing’... and, for me, the smaller the speaker, the more it appears to need. Headphones (& in-ears) always sound a little ‘biscuit-tin-like’ for the first week or so, before they ‘even out’.
Wil, your jokes…. you should write a book!
Ok guys, you are great. No doubt.
But for a not native English, understanding you while you laugh is nearly impossible!
Next time less chemicals before shooting... 😉
You’re not missing much! Just laugh along 🤪👍
I want your job! But if its that fun is it really a job? Please now only work while siting on cold iron spikes to redress this unnatural imbalance in the force.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! Should have said the "hottest SM" now that would be hallarious.
Funniest one yet🤣
Smoke less
hahaha 10/10 fire
16th!
High production value, good information, and...questionable British humor. Sorry, humour. Strange that these videos never seem to really have the penetration that they ought to, given the outstanding quality of the content. Perhaps it is the the left-of-center hilarity that prevents viewers from taking any of this too seriously. (And recording types are nothing if not dead serious about everything, even things that normal people would find either dreadfully dull or completely inconsequential. The minutiae of transducing sound pressure into artistic masterpiece is like a sort of religion and the fervor is as well. One must genuflect where one must, or I think they stop sending Tape Op, ban you from GearSlutz, and so forth.) I am a great fan of the absurd, myself, yet some of the fun seems objectively non sequitur. Will continue to watch. Will continue to skip certain segments puzzlingly daffy to North Americans. Carry on...
EDIT: Well, I scrolled the comments to see what others were saying and it appears that many seems to enjoy the less technically relevant bits almost as much (or more?) than the other. At least enough to post a comment. So, maybe, what the hell do I know? Shall I delete the original comment? Shall I leave it up? Let me drink on that for a second...
Leave it up, of course! I guess a lot of people don’t like the ‘humour’ but this is UA-cam. The content is free, and there’s a load of ‘serious’ stuff out there, so we have to have fun making the videos whilst hopefully sharing some useful information in between the silly stuff! The best piece of advice we got from all the ‘big’ you tubers we’ve spoken to is “Just be yourselves”. So we are! And there is always the scroll bar, skip button, and if the subscribe button is hit, it can be hit again for the opposite effect! A drummer friend of ours gave us a very good insight around a year ago when he said “You’ve just gotten me in trouble with my wife. I watched your latest video and she was gutted that I’d watched it alone. Now I’m not allowed to watch your videos until she gets back from work!” And, of course, she has no interest in music production. So that kinda said it all for us 😎
@@PresentDayProduction I came to delete my comment. Seeing your good humor about your humour makes me doubly sure I should. Maybe I was having a too-serious day or something.
Not matched stereo pair I bet you two
wtf that intro
Adam monitors model letters represent their quality: S series = Superb, T series = Trash
We're gettiing a pair of S3H's in the next few weeks, so it'll be interesting to put them together and see the difference.
Are you guys high?
Must be British humor.
Just a bit of fun and vaguely useful information!
