Are you into active speakers?  They don't really look anything special.  Standard two way bass reflex design with a ribbon tweeter.  Can you provide more info?  Maybe some Ching can help you.

Each series got a few models...do you know what you want?  Well, artist series is more or less for mult-media. F is a bit more pro for serious listeners.

I am planning to change into cas and had bought 3T digital music in a SATA disc with tens of thousands of music and songs.
I had sold out my tube amps and CD player and now looking for good active speakers to play with digital music.  I had a cheap but good DAC to connect between SATA source and the active speakers.
I love clean and smooth sounds.
I know that Adam's S serious speakers are best of its brand but they're far too expensive for me and they only have balance inputs which is not that versatile.

If you have to have Adam speakers.  The Artist maybe your choice A3 or A5, I suppose. 25/50 Watts oup-put respectively.  One thing you wanna find out if they are magnetically shielded, the F series is not.  No chamber for tweeter's isolation is expected.  It's got a class AB amp, kinda nice, but even on review, nobody mentioned if it has electronic cross-over build-in.  It has a nice AMT tweeter.  Personally, I feel more confident with the Kef.  I don't know enough to make judgement on Adam speakers.  Heck, I don't know enough about mult-media speakers anyway...don't really listen to them..

For small speakers, this is much much better, but more $$    A mini maggie system, woofer piece not shown.  This is not active, but no comparision between Adam Vs Maggie.  Maybe about 20K HKD with the Wadia compact 151 DAC/Integrated Amp, 75watt/channel.  Come to think of it, if Adam add the woofer piece, not that much cheaper anyway...

Just gone thro some reviews on the mini maggie and it looks great.
Talking about a 3 piece system it is not expensive as you said.
I have no idea who is the dealer for the Magne..speakers and what is the actual price of maggie + wadia (1500+800?)  


補充內容 (2013-11-17 09:50):
I wonder what this system sounds when it is placed in a bigger (living/TV) room say 200 sq ft

That is a direct purchase from Maggie for $2,300 USD.  In Hong Kong, you might get a break, maybe discountable.  That is an ideal system for smaller places in Hong Kong.  I won't worry about the sound quality too much.  This is most likely the best you can get for such a small, desktop system.  Would be a little wasted as home theatre sound gear..hehe.   They are not "loud" speakers, but 200 sq ft, shouldn't be too much of a problem.  However, there are more options if you got the space.

The Adam, although from Germany..I wouldn't consider hi end, they no Elac and others, ...hehe

Is this only purchasable at 'excel ' hi fi shop?
One worry is that the punch of this flat face speakers may not be as good as bulky speakers due to physical aspects.

Are you kidding? Panel type speakers are different design, it has it's pro and cons.  They are usually hi end and high quality.  Also, depends on the kinda of music you like.  These are not rock speakers.  Other than that, they are fine.    Should listen to them before you make any decisions.
Where you can get them in HK..I can't answer since I don't live in HK...but Mr. 7up may be able to help ya...

Think I can find it in 'Excel show room'
