Samson Rubicon R5A's: Ribbon Tweeters.

I own the Adams A7's and did a listening comparison with my friends R6A's(Next model up) and thought they stood up fairly well in comparison. You'll also save about 600 clams..;)

Google for R5A reviews: you'll be surprised.

You'd better hurry, they've been discontinued, although a few shops seem to still have them. (I got a pair 2 weeks ago, very pleased with them)

Pair going on ebay right now though......

For the price range, definitely.

I auditioned them at the same time as my Dynaudio BM5a and they stood up quite well to them. I was impressed.
