Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ADAM Audio T5V is a two-way nearfield studio monitor with a 5-inch woofer, listed at £149.00 and sitting at number 8 in this guide. Its rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 345 ratings. The specification table records a polypropylene enclosure, a weight of 5.72 kg and dimensions of 29.7 x 17.9 x 29.8 cm.
The number to watch here is the price: £149.00 is for one monitor, so a stereo pair costs £298.00 — the same unit-count trap that runs through this guide. The rest of the spec sheet deserves the same caution. A field labelled "Subwoofer Speaker Diameter" is filled in as 5 inches on a two-way monitor whose woofer diameter is also given as 5 inches; the tweeter diameter is listed as 0.48 centimetres; and the same table carries "Battery Average Life: 8 Hours" and "Control Method: Remote" for a monitor whose bullets describe only multiple analogue connections. The rating breakdown shown on the page adds up to 100 (75 five-star, 16 four-star, 5 three-star, 1 two-star, 3 one-star) against the 345 ratings stated at the top. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing itself, not from any testing we have carried out.

Questions people ask
Does the ADAM Audio T5V come as a pair?
No. The £149.00 price is for one monitor, so two ADAM Audio T5V units for stereo come to £298.00.
What size is the woofer on the ADAM Audio T5V?
The spec table gives the woofer driver diameter as 5 inches. The same table also lists a "Subwoofer Speaker Diameter" of 5 inches on a product described as a monitor.
What tweeter does the ADAM Audio T5V use?
The bullets name a U-ART tweeter with an HPS waveguide, designed in Berlin. The tweeter diameter in the spec table is given as 0.48 centimetres.
Can the ADAM Audio T5V sit on a desk?
Yes. Mounting type is tabletop, and the bullets describe a beveled cabinet with a rear-firing bass reflex port plus high- and low-shelf DSP-based filters for adapting to the room.
Does the ADAM Audio T5V run on batteries?
The listing records "Battery Average Life: 8 Hours" and "Control Method: Remote", but the bullets describe multiple analogue connections and say nothing about battery or wireless operation.
