I know this isnt directly about the volume capabilities of the ADM's but this post seems to be where most of the AVI detractors are lurking at the moment so........ If you read the last few posts on BigH's subject 'Marantz Pearl Lite and Dynaudio Excite X12' you will see that he has been...

I would not waste money on a dedicated CD player. The Panasonic DMPBDT500 has been designed with audio in mind and should be excellent with CD playback. It has had its circuitry tweaked so that it can perform without any video processing interference in pure Audio mode whilst playing CD's. It...

Fair enough mate......Whatever suits you..thats the main thing. As far as I know ,the Camden Town branch of SuperFi has couches for demoing in the main shop but not a dedicated listening room...although I may be wrong as its years since I was in there.

BigH...as I said its not a critisism......I was just making the point that I would be prepared to travel fairly long distances to demo equipment that wasnt in my immediate area. Only because it is a major purchase and something you will have to live with every day...and knowing your real passion...

I know it is..but I am trying to make the point about being prepared to travel for something you really want......dont you agree then?

BigH.....I cant quite understand your mindset with this upgrade journey you are currently on. If you are in the market to buy new equipment then you are doing yourself a dis service by not trying out gear that is only 50 miles or an hours drive away. Especially as its for something that will...

AVI have their own website,have some huge mass orders from China and the U.S which they have just fulfilled so do you really think they need to use this forum to promote sales. Recommending speakers or equipment of any make or manufacturer is a form of marketing and as others have said there...

That sounds like the dealer I got mine from.......Digital Music User. Is that the one? Incredibly helpful guy works there called Rob. Knows his AVI stuff and will give good advice. There is also Bartletts Hi Fi on Holloway road in Islington who sell AVI speakers...Might be worth checking with...

Fair enough....but I still think you would need a bigger budget for big improvements.As you say though the Linn Majik amp was superb. I had it in my system in the 90's and got much pleasure from it.It was an absolute tank of an Amp and saw off most of its sonic rivals such as the Cyrus 3,Nait 3...

For what its worth I have the AVI ADM9RSS which is the latest version of the speakers with upgraded Scanspeak tweeter along with the AVI 10' Subwoofer which a lot of owners on the AVI forum say is not a million miles from the output/Quality of the ADM40's. In terms of SQ I would go along with...

Linn Majik,actually yes as I used to have one in an all Linn system before I moved on to Naim. Have also had a Denon amp so know the family sound.... The point I was trying to make was are they much of an upgrade on what he already has. I dont think they really are. Do you think they are a...

Please get your facts right before spouting on about stuff you dont know about. ADM40 speakers are usually available to be demoed at AVI headquarters if you ring them first and make an appointment...as are the ADM9RS's. I am sure the owner Ash James would be more than happy for you to take...

Nothing wrong with any of the gear you are looking at but they are hardly a huge upgrade are they? If you are looking at spending £600 to £700 then why not bid for these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200914465122?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 They would be a huge upgrade on what you currently have and...

You are welcome......hope the suggestions are useful. The smaller box count always goes down well with the ladies in the house. When I went from my all Naim System with power caps power amps, cd Player etc to a couple of speakers and the sonos connect and a Blu ray deck she was in ecstacy! By...

Ideal indeed!.....here is a link for the speakers in question on the AVI website. http://www.avihifi.co.uk/adm9.html Forgot to say you would need a decent pair of stands for the ADM's.....which you may already have. If you havnt a decent pair would cost no more than £100.... Mine cost £60 from...
