    a/d/s L1290/2 Crossover Capacitor Repair/Restore/Upgrade

    I know this has been generally discussed, but any specific advice for these speakers would be greatly appreciated. They are an original pair of L1290/2's and I'd say it's time to rebuild/upgrade the crossovers. I have NO experience or know-how and, as Richard So appears to be unavailable these...

    A bit of googling, but still no good information. What is this thing? There was one of these stuck on to the back of each of the very nice ProAc speakers I recently picked up.

    Headphones or Speakers?

    Just what it says on the tin. I'm not trying to spark some monumental debate, just curious how you prefer to listen and why. I won't even get into vintage vs. modern, but you can. I prefer speakers because of space, air, eardrums, and such.

    ADS l610 Tweeter Not as Bright as the Other

    I just bought a pair of ADS l620s. They sound amazing, but I have noticed that one of the tweeters is just not quite as loud or bright as the other. Both tweeters work and the less bright one still sounds good, just not AS good as the other one. Sounds like it is lacking a bit of definition and...
