ADS L1590/2 vlaue

Awesome!! EXACTLY what I was looking for. It is nowhere in the paperwork I have, but it is now!

Thanks you so very much!

Got an email from RS today. "The speakers are received. One of the tweeter has blown voice coil. The rest playing very low output. All dome drivers have dried Ferro fluid and over heated. When the drivers have problem the crossovers could be hurt."

It was another $150 (plus $20 to UPS) to send the crossovers to him, so they are also going to the ADS Speaker Spa in Arizona. The upside is that's pretty much all that should be needed for the rest of MY life.

I'm sure an RS rebuilt crossover is a nice thing to have but there are very few naturally decaying parts in the crossover, the electrolytic cap being one. I don't know if there are other 'lytics or parts that need to be replace. You might want to look at the crossover and see if replacing that one cap is something you want to do while the speakers are out of use.

And that is a good reason to send them in. For the ones I have parted the yellow film caps weren't very close to each other and were close to out of spec so a rebuild will put things right.

Haven't posted in a while, so I thought I would update. Got these back from RS in March. LOVE THEM!! OMG - my 990s SUCK SO BAD!! They will go to AZ here in the next month or two.

Seriously, RS did a PHENOMENAL job - these speakers absolutely SING. Got the full setup with dual NAD 2600a amps bridged mono to 500wpc. Source is a Rotel RCD-975 that I found on Reverb NEW IN BOX about 6 months ago. Needed a drive belt, but is has a wonderful DAC.

I love busting out my TELAR CDs that have the ***CAUTION*** DIGITAL AUDIO WITH INFRASONIC BASS warning label. My neighbors probably think there is a T-Rex running loose in the 'hood. MY personal dream system come true. Would love to hear what you guys think. I don't think you can beat these 80s classics.
