Short answer: the ADAM Audio A7V if sound quality matters most, the ADAM Audio T7V if price matters most. The ADAM Audio A7V ranks #82 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers, rated 4.0/5, at $1,639.98. The ADAM Audio T7V ranks #95, rated 3.9/5, at $579.98, $1,060 cheaper.
What the ADAM Audio A7V does well: Studio monitors with a ribbon tweeter and onboard DSP with room correction, best paired with a subwoofer. The catch: The measured configuration spans 6.3dB from 300Hz to 5kHz, so its native response is appreciably less even than the leading monitors.
The case for the ADAM Audio T7V: An affordable 7 inch studio monitor with an even midrange, basic tone controls and analog inputs for a simple desk setup. The tradeoff: Correct listening height is important for the two-way crossover.
Buy the ADAM Audio A7V if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the ADAM Audio T7V if the price matters more than sound quality.
