ADS-910's

A little update, these speakers ROCK! It's been about a month or so now and and as I get to know them, they impress every time. Friends who hear them can't get over how good they sound.
I need to play around with the cave setup a bit more, then put them on their stands. Curious to see how that will effect their sound.
 
YEP, I got the little broters L710 and they are the mainstays in the living room.I never get tired of their sound.

Kudos to you CD. I had the 910 on my radar for a while. Local pair came up for a steel however I had no money at the time. I am glad you are enjoying them. My cousin had a pair of them back in the 80s and I remember them sounding absolutely wonderful.
You've quite the cave their broski... I think I'd get killed if I had that amount of gear gathered in one spot. lol
Amen to you! A rare gem and nice to see you've a pair...

Thanks Mar!
I had no clue about these until they were shown to me by the seller. I'm extremely happy I've been exposed to the ADS sound. What a way to be introduced!
My wife is hip to this crazy hobby as long as it doesn't encroach the rest of the house. She's allowed two other systems on the main floor so I'm happy.

Cheers!

You'll love them. I was lucky enough to AB the l910 with ADS 1230. 4 out of 5 picked.the 910's. I am jealous -- got mine on plywood stands powered by an onkyo m508 and with an ADS sub.
 
I have both. The bass of the 910's is wonderful. Mids are similar. Treble goes to the L1290's for me. It is close but the L1290 has more clear detail. Looks to the 910's. I think they are too cool.
 
I am with you I feel the 1290s have better overall imaging tec but if your source has lower than 40hz you should either expect to boost or supliment with a sub the 1290 is where my ads journey started and are tied with the 1530s as my favorites with the 910 right there in the game. If I was told I had to sell everything and keep the 910s I would smile all the way to the bank and live happily ever after as a 1 percenter in speaker quality

Not having any other ADS speakers, I can only imagine the 1290 & 1530's must be amazing. The 910's are way cool looking, I agree!
For my ears, the high's are perfect, very detailed, even delicate. Bass is most impressive! Deeper than my AR3's, KLH Fives, and the Angelica's.
Enjoyable conversation here gents!

Great score, Glenn! That's an insane deal on those... That's a Boise, Idaho price!

(Never mind the Boise thing... Inside joke... I recently talked to someone from there who mentioned some insanely-low prices on normally-expensive gear)

Let us know when you get them all-juiced-up and jamming in the jamcave. I've read a few threads on this model, me liking big schpeaks and all. Can't wait to hear how they sound in that room, which seems bigger than the room where I have my W90's.

Hey now! I resemble this notion about Boise.

Actually these came along here not too long ago but the seller wanted $400 firm and I passed. The add had said they included the stands, but they actually were not so I told him I wouldn't for $400 and he did not offer up a lower number for my consideration and frankly couldn't get me out of the house fast enough. So see, prices in Boise aren't always great :thumbsup:

Awesome Glenn! Your fortune makes me think about digging up the sellers number and trying again.....

I think even that price is very good for these and the performance they are capable of. They also have the rare LED indicator cards. Those look a little later than mine, different woofers.
 
I was listening to Phill Collins First Farewell Tour live, very loud! When "In The Air Tonight" was performed, it was spine tingling, jaw dropping with the 910's. Thing is, the 910's weren't even breaking a sweat. Just incredible!
