Who uses ADS Speakers


I worked at ADS in The late 70s and Find they are one of the best home speakers ever.

I always loved their accuracy.

My dad came home with a pair of ADS 910's in around 1978. I was five. He's had a few McIntosh setups over the years. Still going- he has them in his shop. 

Still have my ADS L520 in my bedroom and use them almost every night. I still put their bass extension, imaging, and ability to play at lower volumes but still sound FULL up against any speaker south of $1000 today.  Loved that they used crossover components that were good and don't change in electrical value. Just great speakers. Yeah, they only take about 50W, and maybe they won't blow you out of a large room, but for what they are, I love them. 

Fond memories of my long gone 810's. When he was two our older son (now 35) turned up the Amp all the way and blew the speakers. The noise was so lound we had to confront him. A few weeks before he put coins into a computer's floppy drive and that cooked too. Those were the good old days.

Yup, still have two pairs in service. One pair mounted on the wall in the kitchen and are almost always on. Grabs my attention every time I walk into that room. 

I have two pair of L570/2, one in walnut, the other in black.  They sound great and I use them for my office.  One tweeter in the black pair needs replacement, but I have had no luck finding one on ebay.  Also a little concerned that a seller I'm not familiar with would have the sense to pack it correctly so the dome doesn't get crushed in shipment.  If anyone knows of someone who does excellent repairs of dead tweeters (I suspect a voice coil open), please advise.
