ADS L-810's way to bright?

What source and amp?

Sorry the info was vague. Source, Nakamichi DMS 2A CD player with Johnny cash in the slot, amp is a Jolida 302A integrated.
M1sst1 is correct, nothing is wrong with the speakers a friend of a friend owns these and their big brother and says that is the sound and it sounds fantastic to him. I purchased these to make the wife happy and replace the Maggie's with a smaller footprint speaker but they don't sound like the Maggie's so I will be selling them shortly. The bass is fantastic and the mids are great but I don't think the little cymbols on a taborine should be that noticable.

those speakers are over 30 years old, capacitors loose their value. The tweeters and midrange are not acting as designed. If you recap the crossover they will settle down..If the speakers are in good shape its worth the $20 or so for caps if you are able to do it. Put in better binding posts to.

They are a great music speaker with a good bottom end

I've heard these marvelous speakers pushed with all sorts of stuff, tube, ss, hi/low, even Pioneer receivers. They are classics and some of the most adapatable speakers I've heard in 30 years. Re-Cap or look to your cables. It ain't the speakers, if they're still close to spec.

I Don't want to chase ghosts both speakers sound identical,
I doubt the caps are bad or they would sound different. I need to find another ADS L-810 owner to listen and verify that the sound is correct for these speakers.
