"It delivers a sound far bigger and more powerful than you would expect, with the sort of musical accuracy and honesty that you don't get at a grand and might struggle to find at £5000........the result is a product that's one of the most obvious Best Buys we've encounted in years. The revolution begins here..."

Sound Quality improvements - where are they?

In the last dozen or so years the cost of equipping a recording studio has dropped from hundreds of thousands of pounds to the price of a Mac Laptop, a few hundred’s worth of program and ancillaries like microphones etc. What is more remarkable is that the sound quality of music made this way is considerably better that was possible then. Modern equipment is amazingly good, it’s not expensive and there’s a tremendous amount to choose from. Sadly the record companies insist on compromising the results that can be achieved by insisting on certain alterations to make everything seem “louder and more exciting” on an “average system”, but nevertheless most of it sounds wonderful.
If the equipment to make records has improved so dramatically and dropped in price more dramatically, one may ask why this hasn’t happened to Specialist Hi Fi. Here prices have escalated (despite much of it being sourced in the Far East) no technological improvements have appeared and sound quality has not improved to anything like the same extent. Worse still, many devotees still argue that turntables are better, that digital compression is evil and so on.

The computer (like the one that made the records - mostly Macs) is now best place to keep all your music, but different type of shop sell them and they think all hi fi enthusiasts are barking, while some Hi Fi Shops cannot believe computers can make music. Mac owners have known they can for years and that iPod Shuffles sound as just good as the best CD players made. The problem is that the audio output from a PC can be quite poor, however the digital information (provided the drivers are installed correctly) is just as good as from a Mac, it’s simply the conversion to analogue that is awry.
Once this situation is understood it becomes obvious why more people visit the AVI website than buy the rather marginalised Hi Fi Mags and why ADM9s have sold in such enormous quantities. Connected to an iPod Shuffle (110 million people cannot all be wrong) you can have one of the best hi fi systems made for £1045. That’s £1000 for the hi fi system and £45 for the all important source! And if you look around message boards you’ll find people who’ve sold separates systems costing six or more times as much to buy them who are reporting much better sound quality - We’ve even had one chap with £17,500 worth of boxes, power supplies, cables, spikes, stands and whatever that he readily admitted didn't sound anything like as good.

If you don’t understand the science (and it’s clear hi fi magazines don’t) then all this seems highly improbable, but it isn’t at all, ADM9s are just a much better way to design a hi fi system. They show clearly that the cost of Hi Fi has dropped considerably and at the same time there has been a dramatic improvement in sound quality.
The fact is that if you are a music lover/collector then ADM9s are the perfect choice, you just plug them in and enjoy music from now on, nothing else needs doing. However, Hi Fi, from a magazine’s perspective, is rather different, they and their readers are like children in a sweet shop. Everything is delicious and they can’t wait to try it all, there’s no such thing as right or wrong, it’s simply a case of each change of equipment providing a different musical interpretation. Therefore it’s no surprise that some of the debates on the message boards have been so acrimonious. We've done away with it all, incorporated a computer, saved space and money and produced a system that can only bettered by spending a fortune. If you haven't heard ADM9's yet, you ought to as soon as you are able.

Further important advice when considering which speakers are best suited for you

We have just recieved these emails from very satisfied customers with their new ADM9s:

These speakers are way ahead of anything I’ve ever heard, and I simply love them - in fact, I had no idea music could sound like this. There just so polite, and truthfulness just means no bells and whistles which is what I hated with everything else. There’s no more sitting there wishing it sounded a bit more this and a bit less that - I’ve come home.
I bet you can’t wait for that next show, and you get these little babies out and blow everything else out of the water for a grand.

These little monitors are perfect in conception and wonderfully engineered.
I can listen to them all day without any sense of fatigue. They give the lie to the common misconception that 'high end hi-fi' should ever add something to the music that was missing in the original recording. Surely a monitor should enable you to hear what is wrong with the recording process as well as all that is good about it, however you perceive it.
That is precisely what happens here and if, like me, you like to hear everything that makes the music sound live, with all the pops, scratches, slaps and natural acoustics that implies, then don't ever expect to find better.
Finally, a system I can keep indefinitely. 
The original sound - not the closest approach to it.

I have only briefly used the ADM9s but inital impressions are amazing. I have connected my budget Nad CD player to the analogue stage using £1.99 phone leads and can't believe the level of performance. It took me about 5 mins to acclimatise to the way they do things but once things came into focus there was no going back. I cant help feeling smug at the thought of others going out and spending thousands of £s on multiple large boxes and not giving something like this a chance..
For the price and size these truly are a revelation.
I am always a bit sceptical when somebody praises their own efforts, but every thing you have said and written about these speakers seems to be true. I have been playing around with audiophile equipment since I was 14 and now feel that i have reached my journeys end. Anything else just seems completely unneccessary unless you have too much disposable time and cash. I am really looking forward to spending a bit more time with these speakers.

The ADM9s are just wonderful. I am enjoying my music more than for years, and as you had predicted, the sound at even lower download rates is superb - certainly better than I ever got from my N**m system. I have settled on 256 kbps, and that works fine for me (and my wife, who is enjoying the system almost as much as me, much to my surprise and delight). It's the versatility that amazes - Bach chorales, electric jazz, world music, all of it sounds great. I am downloading all my CDs at present, which will take a while, but I am so glad that I took the plunge and got the ADM9s. If I can help persuade anyone else who is dithering, please feel free to contact me. And you were right (I think) - the sub-woofer has so far not been missed. The combination of the Mac with the ADM9 is a particularly fine one, with attention to detail the main defining factor.

I am sure you are absolutely correct in your predictions for the future of home audio - and I hope that the AVI strategy with the ADM9s will put the company in pole position as people make the inevitable change from `conventional' hi fi. Certainly, the innovation and customer service from AVI are the best I have experienced, and you really deserve to succeed. I am sure that the good name that AVI already had in audio circles will be enhanced. I am not in the least surprised at the success of the ADM9s so far - even on a financial basis, to replace my original system with conventional audio separates would have cost several times more than the ADM9-Mac Mini combination has done, and would not have sounded as good.

Good luck with the ADM9s - and with the future development of the company. And thanks again for all your help.

"I am absolutely delighted with my ADM9s!  Having collected them from John Townrow at Fiveways on Saturday (who has been brilliant to deal with again) I got home, plugged in everything and listened.  Having realised first of all that I'd read the programming instructions incorrectly for the one-for-all handset and so had swapped channel and volume, I switched to the digital input and played.  It is absolutely incredible.  The breadth and depth of the soundstage is remarkable - much wider than the speakers in my listening room.  And the detail is amazing too - I'm hearing things I haven't before.  Friends and family alike could not believe that the sound was coming from the mini-mac and "those little loudspeakers".  I hooked up the turntable through the analogue input too - it was so easy to do though I can't see vinyl surviving the cut for me much longer.   This system will transform the way I and my family listen to music. Thanks for a brilliant product."
