Yeah I know, thought I'd get to it today, ended up being busier than I expected. My wife is running the NY Marathon tomorrow, so probably not until Monday. I'm looking forward to see the effect on their sound.
ADS-910's

The 910's are up on the stands in R-2D-2 mode. Damn, big difference 7 inches can make! (Yeah, I know what you're thinking!)
Every spect of these improved! Surprising there's this big a difference, bass is even deeper, soundstage, mids and highs better too. I see why ADS did this.

Interesting, my 810's definitely sound better up and tilted back, the bass much better, not deeper...so clean. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for a pair of those, I've looked for them before, they are always out of my price range.
Maybe someday, you never know...enjoy!

Yeah, see. I was really disappointed when the seller of the pair I went and checked out informed me the stands were actually not included. My bet at th time was that he actually found a buyer for just the stands first and sold them with the plan of making more overall. Probably a good plan on his part to make $.

Seems like a good possibility, but still worth grabbing them. You could always put them on 7 inch stands until an original pair shows up.

I was surprised at the difference. Didn't expect it to be so dramatic.
If these didn't basically drop into my lap, I would have never known about this model. Couldn't pass up a deal like this! The more I listen to them, and read about them, it looks like I struck gold!
Like you said, you never know what will be at the next tag or garage sale.

Hi Glen,
Glad the 910's still satisfy. I got another pair of L810's yesterday in a trade. I need a pair of woofers for one but I have them in the garage in a single I bought for the drivers. I've never heard L810's but I hope they are like the 910's overall. Not sure what to do with them, but that has never stopped me to my wife's chagrin.

Hard to pass up a good set of speakers, even if you don't need them, nor have the room. I would guess they would be similar to the 910's. Did they come with the stands?

Have you tried two pairs of them at the same time? I would suspect they would sound incredible.
I believe there were a pair for sale at the Spring Frankenfest. I heard them briefly and they sounded great in a pretty bad noisy space. Don't remember what he was asking for them though, and knew very little of the ADS brand.

My in laws were in from California to support my wife running the NY Marathon Sunday.
They came to the house today and I demoed my gear for my brother in law. The 910's made his jaw drop! The whole cave blew him away but the ADS's were the star!
He's a music junky like me, but hasn't had a good system in years. When I told him how I found and what I paid for my gear he was shocked.
I hope he's inspired to put a system together now.

These things are SLAMMIN! I've been testing all my speakers with the new JVC M-7050 power amp I bought recently, my second one, and the difference this amp makes in the sound is astonishing!
The 910's are insane at volume now, slammin me in the chest! Bass is incredible, punchy, deep and clean. The highs are so articulate, delicate, voices in the mids, I just melt.
The A-X9 is no slouch, but this amp at nearly twice the power is blowing me away. Even my wife is impressed!
Only problem is my wife goes to sleep earlier than me and I can't crank it after 10 or so.
Anyway, just updating my listening impressions of the 910's. Incredible speakers.

If you can swing it, and have room for these, I would strongly recommend grabbing them. Their sound is so big!

Looks like they are gone!
Ad wasn't up long. There are some BEAUTIFUL ADS L1590s for sale in Boston for $1000 but I am have small kids and it would be an insane purchase at this point in my life.

Hear ya on that! Kids ruin everything! Had to sell my 70 vette when my daughter was in her 3rd year at NYU! Priorities!
Nice Glenn!
I've been enjoying my L1590's with the Adcom GFA5500 but I have been thinking I might be missing out by not bi-amping these puppies. I keep looking at getting another 5500.
Meanwhile I picked up a pair of L990's for a buddy and will be taking them to him next month. In the meantime I have hooked them up to a couple different systems and they too are impressive with power. Right now they are attached to a Pioneer SX-5580 (black version of the 120w 1050) and boy!

That would be quite a setup! The 990's are good looking speakers too! That Pioneer receiver is gorgeous as well!
I would imagine it kicks some serious butt!
The 7050 is specked @ 150 wpc, but my tech has my other one, bench tested it at full power and said it's pushing 200 wpc! Fun toys!

That would be a blast!
My first 7050 and matching PL-10 pre amp had a rough life. They did come with the rosewood cabs though, but we're pretty banged up. I've sanded them, repaired corners and plan to reveneer them with rose wood, and attempt to match the factory 21 coat lacquer finish! Hope to have them back soon from my tech, he said the amp is working perfectly. Has to finish the pre issues, at least they are minor.
I have a thread documenting the long journey I've been on with them.
The amp is something, amazing head room with it, powers my herd with ease. I had it cranking the 910's at crazy volume, the meters were peaking between 5 & 10 watts!
