    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...

    Ads l810 vs Heresy ii - which one?

    Both are around the same price. I will not be able to hear both before buying, nor have I heard them before. I have McIntosh ma6100, Sansui 221 and Yamaha 410ii. From sound perspective, I lean towards high frequencies more than ultra low end. Not that I don't want low end, but IF it was a...

    a/d/s M12's

    Anyone have any experience with a/d/s M12 towers? Picked up a pair this weekend and the bass seems non-existent. I've a lot of good things about the company and wanted to try a pair out. Yes, it be the cross-over related but first I have to figure out where it is and how to access it. The...

    East coast whoop whoop

    Joined to source a midwoofer for a pair of Vienna Acoustics Bach towers, and to sort out the impedance mismatch with my A/d/s L520. On the east coast. Have some car audio experience. Enjoy sound quality. My posts on AVSforum keep getting deleted. Planning to re-sock a pair of DCM tf350, but...

    Someone grabbed the KLH 5s before I could get to them, but grabbed the little a/d/s of CL For $120

    So far happy with them. They aren't efficient as I would like for a small wpc tube amp, but good in the home office. They're a/d/s L470/2. Seem to be good for vocals with a decent low end. Played a few Blue Note/Verve 180g reissues through them and they sounded great. One to watch for on the cheap.

    a/d/s ( aDs ) L570 Crossover Capacitor Repair/Restore/Upgrade

    Hi. I recently purchased a pair of a/d/s L570 bookshelf speakers on Minneapolis Craigslist. The two were in okay shape. They have signs of normal use over 30 plus years, but no abuse. Unfortunately, about their surrounds is rust that is contributing to the surrounds lifting off the metal...

    ADS L1530 - Oregon Coast

    No affiliation. Hope this post isn’t against forum rules. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ele/d/pair-of-ads-l1530-studio/6697114258.html Came across this on my regular searches. Interesting timing on this add as I just finished reading the thread about refurbishment of a pair of these...

    A/D/S L880/2 Speakers, what is a fair price?

    I'm a big fan of A/D/S and have been collecting their creations for years. This pair of L880s are in fantastic shape. The cabs do have some scratches in the walnut veneer, but nothing that couldn't be refinished. I really don't know what to price these at. I know they were $800-$900 new 30 years...

    ADS a/d/s sticky midrange shipping disaster

    Hi all, So I sprung on those ADS midranges on the auction site here recently in order to replace a bad one on a set of L990’s. Fortunately they came packed very well to protect them from outside evil forces. UNfortunately on the inside, they came wrapped in an (impressive) amount of plastic...

    Need guidance on best way to amp (2) A/D/S SB10 woofers

    So I have been the proud owner of two A/D/S SB10 10 in subs that are mounted in their factory made box. I have been using them at home with a 5.1 receiver and love the bass they deliver. I would like to hear their max potential in my car but have found it difficult to find qualified...

    Couple shots of an ADS 910 recap

    After experimenting with some option, I found Clarity Cap worked nicely on the tweeter. Clear but not harsh. The one mod I decided on was halving the value to the resistors on High Frequency Cut 1. Takes the edge off without sounding dull or loosing any of the airiness.

    Spare 6 Pin Spring Connector for ADS 910 (Maybe also used in 2002)

    I want to build my own crossovers for a set of ADS 910s. While I could canibalize the originals or just cut and splice, I'd really like to make drop-in replacements that I could swap back-and-forth with the originals for comparison. Anyone have an idea where I might source this part (the six...

    How much "watts" would ADS L-Series and M-Series required ?

    Hi, I'm strongly interested in the 80s-90s ADS home speakers, their appearances, their reputations, etc. Also in my car systems, I've used to them very much, the PQ10, 320i, 320is, 320i/s, PH15.2, 642ix, AL4, A5is etc. because they are very famous in my hometown at 20-30 years ago. But in the...
