Hopefully Bink doesn't mind me barging in on his thread but the topic seems apt. I did a couple of gigs last Saturday with the ADRaudio gear and overall I'm pretty impressed.
The first show was a memorial celebration consisting of a few speakers, an opera singer, a taiko drummming group, belly dancing, and ending with DJ's. The event took place in San Francisco's Bandshell in Golden Gate Park. The ADRaudio speakers were set up on the stage at the bandshell for the speakers and performance, and my sound system was set up off to the side for the DJ's. I used an ATA 118 in the center and a U 103 on each side covering an audience of about 400 people. A single M 1225 did monitor duty front and center. I ran the rig with no processing or EQ at all on the mains.
The event was a bit better attended than I'd expected, so I was pretty happy that the U 103's had no problem covering the crowd with headroom to spare, even during the musical portions. These tops are really nice! Clean and clear, but with a nice warm feel to them. I'm in agreement with Bink though about how the tops and subs combine: there seemed to be a bit too much mid-bass, and the sub energy felt a bit boomy. I wish I had more feedback about the speakers from this gig, but I was busy setting up the other system during much of the event. We did get a number of compliments about the system from attendees, which I think is pretty indicative of their quality considering there was no EQ or processing.
Later that night I used the U 103's as DJ monitors for an indoor techno party. I was more than a bit concerned that with only a 10" on lows that they wouldn't hold up, so I had a set of Mackie SRM 450's ready as backup in case the ADR cabinets proved insufficient. Under hard limiting the 10" would noticibly distort, but the highs stayed clean and clear. Were I to use them in this capacity again, I would want a HPF inserted so that the 10" wouldn't have such strain put on it. However, they were "just" loud enough to hold their own sitting 2 feet behind a pair of Bassmaxx Trip 12's. Any more system than this and they would have been insufficient (as would the Mackies, for the record.) I'll definitely be considering the larger U 154's for purchase when they become available. Bennett, please put me on the list for a demo when you get those cabinets stateside.
Overall my only quibble with these speakers is the warranty length, which is currently 2 years. EONA ADRaudio is obviously setting themselves up as the Meyer alternative for those seeking quality speakers with a bit less sticker shock. I'd like to see them meet, if not exceed, the standard 3 year warranty Meyer delivers.
