Well, I sold off the behemoth monitors Monday, and the new Adam F7's arrived Wednesday. I don't have any hard testing data, but I like the sound of the new monitors from the first listen... glad I went with the F7s and not the F5s.
Much better placement than the big monitors and they seem to be right size for where I am, and could probably fill a somewhat bigger room fine as well. Tweeters are at the right height and just really fit my environment much better. Maybe a little less bass, but they have an overall clarity and detail that is good. I think they'll do the job.
