Given their balance of sonic virtues, and taking ease of use into account, I must conclude that the ADAM F7 deserves a very enthusiastic recommendation.

The briskness that comes out of these tiny speakers is very exciting. The X-ART tweeter with its extended high frequency range does a perfect job here. The bass response is surprisingly powerful in an utterly unobtrusive way. These monitors offer great sound for little money, a feature one can only recommend!

If you have always aspired to Adam monitors but found them beyond your budget, you may well find the F5s are
just what you need, with the option of going for the F7s if you need something for a slightly larger room. It could just be that Adam have come up with a serious contender for ‚best in class‘ with the F5s.
