In Reply to: 5.1 monitors posted by Rich Jura on January 23, 2002 at 08:09:53:
I'm not familiar with the A.D.A.M., so I have no basis for comparison. I would recommend powered monitors from Genelec, Hafler, Mackie, or Tannoy. There are others, but these would be the ones that I would recommend.
Follow Ups:
I second the reccomendation for the Mackie monitors, or preferably the Genelecs, however they're considerably more expensive...--jeff
If you are serious about 5.1, I would definitely take a look at PMC range. An awful lot of top rooms install these for 5.1 setups. Maggies and alike are best kept for hi-fi set ups, in this situation you will want good quality industry standard equipement. Genelecs are a possibility, although not a speaker I personally like, they do have a number of fans.Regards

Absolutly agree with Roland PMC are doing a fantastic job at the moment, I havn't found a duff one from them yet. Their BB5 XBDs are the best speakers I have ever heard. Take a look at the user list on their website (www.pmcloudspeaker.com) a lot of the top studios are using them. Most of their speakers also have an active option with Bryston amps which are very good.
As for Genelecs I agree with Roland again, all the ones I have come across use the titanium tweeter which I find to be a little harsh. Don't know if they do any with a different tweeter. Can't comment on Maggies - havn't heard any.Olly
