Dear @grannyring : Yes " heavy " moded, here about:
ADS L 2030: This is a Full Range Professional Monitor that I own for many years.
These L 2030 was designed by Mike Kelly ( Aerial speakers ) and till today it match all my priorities.
It is " heavy " tweaked to do that: first it has " three hands " ( internally ) of a insulation/antivibrational treatment ( like a white paint. I can't remember the ingredients. ) from Acoustical Magic Company ( it works marvelous ) inside all the box ( a big one box: 58-5/8" ( H ) x 27-1/4" (W) x 13-1/8" (D) ).
It is internally hard wired with Silver Oval by Analysis Plus cable and KCAG by Kimber Kable.
I take out the crossover ( now is external ) and change all the parts: resistors ( Duelum. ), silver air core solid ribbon ( 5.5 cms. of pure silver. Almost 2kg. of silver in the biguest one. ) inductors , by-pass teflon caps, etc, etc, the speakers cables goes soldered directly to the crossover parts. This speaker crossover is hard-wired.
In reality are three separate/stand alone crossovers: one for the tweeter, one for the midrange and the other for the woofer, all these hard-wired directly to the amps ( no connectors. )
I'm only not biamp my system ( with the subs. ) but these ADS main/satellite speakers are true tri-wired in hard-wire directly to each crossover parts in the three way speaker design all the way down to the amplifier output.
I change the internal damping glass fiber by 10kg ( each one ) of long hair 100% virgin wool and change the fabric cloth of the grille for a " transparent one ".
These L 2030 have: One acoustic suspension 1" silk dome tweeter, one main acoustic suspension 2" silk dome midrange, three auxiliar acoustic suspension 2" silk dome midranges ( similar to the main midrange but with a less powerful magnet. ) and two long-excursion acoustic suspension ( sealed. ) paper 14" woofers.
These are exceptional drivers especially the tweeter/main midrange ones.
These are some manufacturer specs:
- Frecuency response: 22-20K +.- 3 db ; 18-28K +.- 5db.
-Efficiency: 95 db SPL.
- Power rating: 300 watts nominal; 1,200 peak.
Weight: 95kg.
Back external tweeters:
These ones was a spare tweeters from a Dalquihst DQM-9 that I owned and already sold.
These tweeters are 1" silk dome ( same efficiency that the front ones ) and are connected in phase with the front ones and works with his own crossover ( with by-pass Teflon cap. ) at around 7k and up and have, too, an off/on switch.
As I told you the high pass filter is made it inside each 20.6 ML monobloks.
Probably I can use the Sonicaps Platinum or perhaps Jupiter or something else but because I'm restricted on money I need your advise about.
Thank's in advance.
R.
