I gave my daughter a pair of ADS 980's about 8 years ago
when I bought a Paradigms set up for a home theater. She pretty much has had them unused in her basement. I listened
to them in her basement with a middle of the road Sony
receiver and they seem to sound great with her modest set-up.
The speakers could use new grills and a little touch-up on the wood, but I think I might have to give her something and bring the ADS back to my home, I'm almost ready to put the whole HT thing in the can and just go with 2 channel, As a side I just
purchased a pair of Vienna Acoustics Concert Grands. I just
chimmed in because I have not heard a word about ADS in years.
