Hi,

I went back to Guitar Center to listen to the Adams P11a again. This time I played 2 CDs with very low bass. Star Trek Themes on the Telarc label. called Symphonic Star Trek. Track 9 was a special effects track and the Adams did not make the grade. In fact they shut off (luckily there is clipping mechanism that shuts them off otherwise the woofer would have been blown) The Focals Twins did handle it ok. Solos had a brief buzzy sound but manage to pass.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem, Track 2, very beginning. The Adams P11a buzzed, then we tested it on the S3A just to see if other monitors could handle it and no, the S3A putted out in the bass and almost shut off. The guy at Guitar Center was shocked and thought it would handle it. He didn't want me to play that part again. I didn't get hear to this CD on the Solos or Twins.
