How is this?L1230's, L1530's, or L2030's would be epic to own. Any of the three. And I never realized how big they truly are, until I saw a picture of 1530's and AR90's side by side. The 90's were dwarfed! As such, I can't imagine 2030'!
One of my favorite pics of the 2030's!How is this?
How is this?
This damn thread is killing me Matt. I need another set of speakers like a whole in my head. But having heard your 1530s, watching your progress here with the 2030s, and seeing the ADS speakers pop up around here is tempting my resolve. I had a chance at a set of 1230s a couple years ago for a very good price, and have regrets over letting them slip away!
Anyway, great thread on the restoration process.
If either pair of L1590's we've found locally had been walnut instead of black, I'd have been very tempted. Heck, even black I was tempted, lol. I liked what we heard at the Cleveland guy's house. I'm not sure where you'd put them with those huge Bozaks!This damn thread is killing me Matt. I need another set of speakers like a whole in my head.

Yes, sir, very nice @Spiceman50 !Wow Spiceman those are awesome! Do tell!
He's got a thread on the build. Very nice work.Yes, sir, very nice @Spiceman50 !
Thank you Glenn, I really didn't want to invade Matt0404's thread as this is his time. And thanks all for the kind remarks all, very warm feelings from all y'all. Indeed. But we need something to talk about tell Matt get's all his parts back together. (smiling). I know I'm not alone when I say we are all very anxious.
I will add this though, the warmth and accracy you hear from the ADS speaker is passed though to movies on a 5.1 system. One can claim that if the two mains are distanced and angled toward a sweet spot that you'll produce a phantom center (as they say), and because I used the very same drivers in the center I was able to prove that a phantom center does exist when the mains are lined up properly. However, not all of us have the room where we can separate the mains and angle them to a sweet spot. A center really fills that void. This system does that magnificently.
I've been to so many different venues in my life. From the Hollywood Bowl to a Hole in the Wall in Texas, and in as much as I still to this day enjoy a 2 channel system, a 5.1 channel system can provide me with a dimension that I am familiar with in the various venues I've been too. It can provide me with the same sensations I enjoyed in those places and take me back to a simpler time and place. My smile is huge. And I just can't seem to get enough of it now. No brick and mortar speaker has ever done that.
If I can ever get my hands on a L910, L1530 or L2030 .... I'd do it again. With lessons learned.
Thank you SirJosephHMagnificent work Spiceman! Bravo!
Yes the 1590s in Cleveland did sound killer! Best speakers that guy owned anyway...I am trying to resist speaker acquisition lately. It's not easy. I want monoblocks next i think...If either pair of L1590's we've found locally had been walnut instead of black, I'd have been very tempted. Heck, even black I was tempted, lol.
