Adam P11a v's Genelec 1030a

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I know this is probably the most annoying and subjective question ever,
but if you could offer an opinion i would be much obliged.
i have money and the most i can afford is either of the above monitors.
now i know the genelec's are very well known and i read different
opinions of them, the adam's are not as common but if you have
experience with both and could offer advice that would be great. i
can't get to listen to any cause of where i am (i will be buying over
the internet) and i want to order on monday.
cheers guys, have a good weekend!
Hugh.

Stu,

I think I've seen you here on RAP once before and may have commented but I
need to say again that I think you are awesome and have always enjoyed your
drumming ( especially on Watercourse Way! any chance of the original mix of
that being released on CD??? ;-)

Take care!

Hugh,
I don't have any experience with the Genelecs, but I do have a pair of ADAM
P11As. They were recommended to me by Harry Andronis, who I worked with
when he was co-producer/engineer on many Shadowfax records & tours. Harry's
also worked with Zappa, Tracy Chapman, Natalie Cole and P.J. Harvey. I've
been very happy with the P11As.

I tested (did a blind AB listening test and measured the performance)
the Genelec 1030A, AdamP11 and Geithain RL906.

The Genelec was a disappointment; amongst other drawbacks the music
sounded like it was coming out of a box (which it actually does of
course).

The choice between the Adam and the Geithain was thougher. Actually,
they sounded a bit alike. I really liked the P11A (great value for
money) but decided for the odd-looking Geithain in the end.

Hope this is some help.
