Active speaker test in latest issue

[admin_exported]

I read that subscribers get their copies today, although I'll have to wait a week to buy mine on the high street.

Did an active speaker test materialise?

I need a second system for a new room and was interested to see What HiFi's write-up.

 

[Andrew Everard]

Yes, there is a round-up of active speakers in the June issue, on sale next week.

Andrew did you get the Avi's to put in the test?

 

[Andrew Everard]

If by 'get' you mean 'buy', then the answer is yes...

Doh!

Now you have ruined the suspense!

 

[Andrew Everard]

Ah, but you don't know what else is in the test...

Well, nobody can't accuse this publication of not trying, that is if anyone did. Personally I think it's wrong you had to buy them regardless of what I think of the product.

AVI have still not forgiven the mag for testing the original ADM9s (or for giving them 5 stars).

Regardless of whether the ADM9.1s get 5 stars or not, someone at AVI is going to go ballistic! (Especially if they are plugged into a non Apple source.)

Good that WHF bough it. Interesting kit, cannot get otherwise - buy. Great.

A bit of nuance every once in a while never hurt anybody

Or of course you can just spell it out...

Andrew thanks for the reply and I look forward the reading the next issue even more, no matter what the result is. I did not get chance to hear the competion myself. We did find that our Avi's did improve after about 2 months fairly light play! How long a running in did you do?

Thank you for the reply, Andrew.

When is the issue due in the shops?

And if I subscribe how early could I expect to receive future issues?

 

[Anonymous]

Andrew did you buy the Avi's with or without the sub? if without have you tried them with a sub? I am trying to decide should we buy one to underpin the likes of Joe Bonamassa and for tv/film use!

 

[John Duncan]

I heard a few of them (looks over shoulder for Lucas)...

 

[Simon Lucas]

Never off duty. Always vigilant.

 

[John Duncan]

You're going to put a cap in my -ss aren't you.

Issue on sale May 5th. If you subscribe, you get it in the post a few days earlier (ie most subscribers should have it this weekend.)

And as for Mr Duncan and Mr Lucas, I do hope they're not going to give too much away...

Wouldn't dare. He has a big stick.

 

[chebby]

I am going to guess the rest of the line-up...

Acoustic Energy AE22 active

Dynaudio Focus 110 A

Quad 11L (or 12L) Active

PMC DB1S-AII

I agree... Clearly the manufacturer should have supplied the product for the review... I have great respect for WHF for listening to the forums and buying the product for the review.... That's real dedication! I look forward to reading the outcome of the test...
