for the money, A7X´s are IMO unbeatable.

sure, I can understand that..there are plenty of options to find whatever you like the best
yeah man, I play through that cab all time, it´s pure ear sex, nuff saidYep
You ever plug the fractal into that Friedman 4x12 under it in your pic? How are the newer models used in that routing scenario?

How are the newer models used in that routing scenario? - not sure what do you mean. what newer models ?
aha, ok.I am an ex ultra user for half a decade. Just got the fm3 yesterday so haven't been able to do anything but FRFR yet
aha, ok.
signal chain is : axe 3 - fryette ps-2 tube power amp - friedman 4x12.
So the same hook up like with standard tube head.
I had 2 friedman asm´s 12 FRFR boxes, xitones and a few other - I am for sure no FRFR guy...only at home..for live playing, it has to be pressure from real cab and tube power amp
You have to like your gear. Is that the best reason to write something off? Probably not....but, it's not irrelevant.Have read this a lot on this site. Almost went with them but I didn't like how they looked. A decision factor for me, but most likely not for a smarter individual. It's about the sound. For whatever reason tho aesthetics have a big effect on my inspiration

Theoretically, you're going to be living with these things for several/many years and at least seeing them if not looking at them every day. And it's not like you ignored the only good set of speakers in the price range because of looks....there are a lot of options.
Adams are plenty good for the money...pretty much all of them. I don't think that they're worlds better than any of their competitors, but they are good.
I've gotten weird about speakers over the last few years....they're a strange combination of one of the most important things to how things sound and also kind of irrelevant because at any given price level....there aren't really any standouts to me, just differences. And, I'm not sure I would have come to that conclusion if I hadn't just accepted that my CC statement was going to look bad for a while and ordered several sets of speakers at about the same level and then taken the time to set them all up in my room and give them all a fair shake. I was getting really close to having to pay for 2 sets (or pay for shipping more times than I wanted) until the last set showed up and were very quickly "the ones". That was a few years ago, and I have not been tempted to really even look at anything else.
I will when I can justify spending several times more money on speakers (and I have a short list starting at about 4x the price).....but there are several other things in line first. It feels really good when you know your speakers are good enough to benefit from other upgrades.
Totally valid. All of it.I don't think I have a good enough ear to justify buying thousand dollar speakers. I went with the Presonus E5s and if I paid attention to "reviews" I probably wouldn't have gotten them. 5-inch speakers and to me, they are perfect. Have read numerous times that anything under 8 inches is foolish to buy. But being a kind of stubborn person I decided to give smalller ones a try first.
Very glad I went with these. I don't roll in money, born into working class, parents always liked their drink. I have bought any equipment I've ever had. I had guitar and amp on my xmas list for year's until my ma said if I put it on it again I'll get nothing. Long story short I've had to work with a tight budget for a long time.
To finally be here is just something else. Very grateful
