The newest addition to the Tweek Geek online catalog is the ADAM Audio Classic line of speakers. The ADAM home monitors feature a unique, proprietary folded ribbon tweeter based on Dr. Heil’s highly regarded Air Motion Transformer. The woofers utilize cones that are made from a material called HexaCone, which is a honeycomb structure made of Nomex surrounded by layers of Kevlar on both sides.
Prices range from $1,249 to just under $6,000 for the ADAM Audio Classic line and ADAM Audio loudspeakers can now be purchased in the USA at TweekGeek.com (with some territorial restrictions in effect).

Column
The Column is the first HiFi speaker system to carry the A.R.T. midrange unit. Its unusual reproduction capabilities will transfer the fascination of a great concert and will reveal the subtle details of modern recording technique. Beginning with tones as deep as 32Hz you can enjoy the combination of rich and controlled bass. The 600 – 2.800 Hz area is reproduced by the ADAM A.R.T. midrange, the very first and still only Air Motion transformer for that frequency band. You will hear the high frequencies in a never before heard resolution and detail, without suffering from offensive ear experiences.
You will be thrilled.

Center
To complete a 5.1 surround sound set up of a very high quality we recommend the Center speaker. It´s components are identical to those found in the Pencil, so it fits very well with both the Compact and the Pencil speaker to build an ideally matched surround system.

SW260
To fill out the low end of a stereo or 5.1 surround system, the S260W delivers stunning bass performance. The unit comes with both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) connectors. It is possible to adjust the bandwidth of the woofer and the connected full-range speakers separately in order to allow the SW260 to be used with many different satellites. Variable fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley filters are used to make the crossovers as musical as possible. The phase of the incoming signal can be varied between 0° and 180° to allow for maximum flexibility in woofer placement.
