i was going to comment on what i thought was a 'high' price for the speakers but then realized i know nothing of them or their value.

 

[thedelihaus]

Oh- got confused.

Typical price is about a quarter to third of this, but I'm seeing some odd HiFi prices as of late.

Weak dollar? Overseas buyers? Vinyl resurgence in popularity?


Anyhoo, still too steep forcme but they do have the LED panels and the stands and look very clean.

I wonder if Richard So rebuilt all the drivers?

 

[thedelihaus]

What do you think, Paul? $800 tops? $1200 for yours?

 

[sancho22]

I would say $800. A few weeks back a 1590 was sold for a bit over $800...
Than again, as Paul said, the "market" is crazy now and there are no real trends. Prices fro speakers, rceivers, etc. are all over the place.

Dang it - I passed after audition of a pair for $300 last year, same exact speaker with stands blah blah. Maybe it was the crappy BPC Sony amp but they didn't sound good'nuf to replace anything. I should have bought them for flip.....


Cheers,

Bob

compared with JBL 4350 and L300 VERY HIGH END ACCUSTICS

Pull the woofers out of the JBL's and compare to the ADS. I'll take the JBL's.

At lease the domes aren't caked in fibers and cat's hair. The often look like tennis balls.

For $300, I'd take them...to flip.

 

[soundmotor]

Great speaker, however the appearance is not that good to command that price.

Yep. "Refurbed" to me means the stands don't have big scratches on them, screw heads are not rusty, and the general layer of smeg is cleaned off the front baffles.

 

[thedelihaus]

I prefer the L1230, L1290, L1530, L1590, M12/90, or L1090 with well-integrated subs.

But that's me.

I shaved our cat once I got ads

I've had most of these. The L-910 II's and the L-980's are the only ones still here.

As to JBL, I love my JBL's, however two different design camps at work here. Both do different things well. Me, I enjoy apples AND oranges.......

Best,

Paul :thmbsp:

I second that opinion! Wouldn't trade my 4312's or L810's for anything except a next step up for each!!!

I also like shaved p****!:thmbsp:

I dunno every model that used cast or stamped woofers in the a/d/s/ line, but I was disappointed that the L1230s, no matter how truly impressive and downright awesome they sounded, sported stamped woofers.

The L1290 and L1590 and perhaps L1090 sported thick, beefy (macho, even) cast frame woofers.

Prior to the L880, L980, L1090, L1290, & L1590, no model in the ADS speaker line had cast frames.

The closest they got were some early Braun L810, and the LV1020. (The LV1020 basket appearing much later in modified form in the Braun SW2, ADS L980, SW5, & SUB12.)

Yay trivia!

I remember when you passed on them at that price and was a bit surprised.

Paul
I wonder what you liked better in the 980 vs. the 1290? I have both and still can't decide what I like more in one or the other. The one thing whizh puzzles me is that the 1290 goes supposedly lower in the bass but actually I hear/feel the bass going lower with the 980. Like them both to be honest.
