Really surprising! Both good and bad.
Shadetreepaul 08.09.2020
I upgraded from the Presonus Eris E3.5 studio monitors which I absolutely loved, but it was time to get a bit more of the frequency spectrum for mixing and mastering. I was debating between going with the Eris E5's and these, but I bought these because I generally love everything that Thomann makes for their in house brands. I have to say, for the price these are incredible!

I need more time to mix and master with them before commenting on the audio quality, but my initial impression is they sound very clear. I can hear each frequency much more clearly than with my E3.5s, and the stereo spectrum is also more audible.

My only complaint (and maybe this is normal) is that these speakers are incredibly noisy when they are on and no sound is being produced. The white noise hiss from the tweeters and even the low hum from the speaker is very loud - it was inaudible with my E3.5s. And I made sure that this wasn't caused by bad cables or ground loops. So maybe I was spoiled with my old monitors, and maybe this is normal, but it was an unpleasant surprise. I was happy when the power save function kicked in and I had that wonderful silence again, even though that took a little longer than I expected.

I think while I am recording with a mic I will switch these off because they would definitely bleed into the mics.

Build quality is great and they are huge and heavy!

Clear vocals

These boys are chunky and sound the part! Controls on the back allow you to fine-tune their response according to your room setup.

There's a pronounced lower-midrange hump, but it doesn't seem to be too aggressive. Something I'll be mindful of.

Voices sound very clear and I now regret I published a mix a couple of days before getting these -- I would've fixed some issues!

All in all, good value

Feedback on ACM 7 from a practicing musician
Andrey Kovrizhnykh 29.12.2020
Excellent studio monitors, they pump confidently both bass and treble, I mix my tracks on them now, I compared them with the Yamaha HS7 and KRK7, they are in no way inferior, and the price pleases. There is all convenient commutation on board, filters help to get rid of standing waves and adjust the sound you need. Trust me, I listened to competitors in the store, and I listened to both metal and pop and rock compositions, and so these monitors are the golden mean between KRK and Yamaha. If your room is less than 45 m3 in volume, then you can take a closer look at ASM5, they will also perfectly suit you, I have a larger room, so ASM7 suits me perfectly. If you have a hum of low frequencies after installing these monitors, decrease Acoustic Space by -4 dB, if there is not enough highs, then do HF Trim +2 db, if there is a lot of bass, then set the LF cutoff filter to 80 db, thanks Thomann for the wonderful and available devices. I recommend that you watch my review on YouTube, there are examples of my songs and tracks, listen and understand what's what - youtu.be/xrVV8ls5dK4

the best monitors for this price.
royal fatali 10.10.2017
Well, if you want to buy monitors for home studio these ones are the best, really. First about the quality of sound, there no big difference between 7 inch monitors adam, behringer, yamaha m-audio, krk or swissonic asm7. Because all them are NEARFIELD monitors and their possibilities are limited and good for HOME studio. But of course the BRAND name and their prices are different.
Now about CHARACTER of sound, they are different, some of them have bright high frequency - Adam, or dirty and heavy low - KRK, or neutral - yamaha. I wanted neutral like yamaha, but they have whole behind, I listened yamaha hs 7 and Swissonic asm7, they have the same quality and the same character of sound, but swissonic amp more powerful, phase inventors are in front, and have more outputs, and cheaper than yamaha. Honest sound - that you need for mixing, they do their work for their price very good. If you have buzzing noise or claping woofer it is defect so change it you have 30 days for return or change, thomann do very good things available for people with low budget. Listen, try monitors and then buy them for your purpouse. Thanks thomann!

Would Reccomend
Kronikiz 14.11.2017
Very happy with these speakers, less-muddy mids than KRKs. Use for home-producing, they're well suited.

Pros:
Transparent sound at a good price
Filters are useful (use -2db HF Trim, treble can be slightly piercing in the room I'm in without it)

Cons:
Probably won't be able to resell as easy as more well known brand.

Great as entry speaker
NeZvers 27.03.2020
These are probably the cheapest monitors I'd recommend someone to buy. I bought these for my friend I often write music with. It has ok bass response but I'd like to point out that bass speakers are quite resonating around 130Hz and I needed to compensate with a narrow notch on monitoring chain in the Reaper.

Superb Value studio monitors
Tommykillermister 29.10.2019
I bought these for my home studio control room, after searching for studio monitors that were within my budget I was left feeling a little confused and stuck to what to go for but then I came across these speakers.
I was originally going to get a pair of Yamaha HS5's but reading the spec of these I was intrigued as they were miles cheaper allowing me to buy more bits for my studio build, BONUS!
what really sold it for me was the front-mounted ports rather than rear as I know I would have issues with bass reflex hitting the wall behind with them being situated so close to the wall.
Volume is enough for my small room I am putting them in but a larger room I feel they might not be loud enough.
The sounds are exactly what you would need for mixing, they are extremely flat response with the option to EQ to your room using the cut and boost switches on the back which fell really sturdy switches and good quality too.
The same goes for the volume knob a really nice feel to the sweep, the cabinets are nicely finished and have a quality weight to them also along with that white driver they also look classic like the Yamaha speakers.

So to wrap it up superb quality build and sound for monitors that cost a lot less than pretty much any of the alternative monitors in this price bracket about and £180 it's for the PAIR! I'm surprised that there aren't more people talking about these online they really give the others a run for their money.

Smooth top end.
Too much G.A.S. 10.04.2018
OK I will admit that these speakers have a terrific overall sound especially the smoothness of the tweeter. I use them to check mixes from my studio and also for my regular computer. The annoying problem about them is the EU mandated automatic Stand By mode. The sound when they go into Stand By mode is a quite audible crack and thump. This feature can not be turned off. Maybe mine are faulty so I may get them checked eventually within the 3 year warranty. I have had them for about a year and other than the aforementioned annoyance I love the sound of them.

Better than I thought
Nillie 26.03.2020
Bought them without hearing them. Did a little research and overall got positive feedback about them. So I took the chance and orderd them.

These are my first ever own Studio monitors and I love them. They have a clean sound, good highs, good lows. Nothing to complain. Good build quality and everything!

So if your looking for a good first pair of Monitors than a relatively cheap. Go for these!!

Awesome for the money
FC Music 14.07.2020
Better than my Adam T5V. Need I say any more?

OK I'll add a few more words:
Build = Excellent
Sound Quality: Very flat, not a rounded sound at all. Some may say it's harsh I love it.
Features: Auto sleep function is most useful, rear adjustments are competent, front bass vent is welcome. Caters for TRS, XLR and RCA. Only downside is power switch on the rear.

I bought these for my lounge and they are now in my studio.
Super deal
