Help identifying ADS speaker

Chipp

Computer nut gone stereo!
Hey all,

There's been a lone ADS speaker in the local thrift for months now, always in the same spot near the window. I finally gave it a serious look today, but it didn't have any model number or other identification marks on it, other than the badge on the front with tone control, specs, curves, etc. I wrote down those specs and was hoping that with some general info it would be possible to figure out what it most likely is just for my own curiosity.

It's a 3-way, with what I'd guess to be either a 8 or 10 inch woofer. The dustcap is missing, cone is a white woven material, possibly fiberglass? Relatively high excursion.

According to the badge:
Liquid Cooled
125w Max Program power
Frequency response 43hz - 25khz
8 ohm
98 db/w

Unfortunately thats all the info I've got. :no: Hopes are high for ADS gurus. :banana:

It may not be the a/d/s everyone hunts for. I'm no expert but all the a/d/s speakers I've seen have woofers that were paper or paper like and dark in color. They also have dome tweeters and mid ranges. Do a search and check out the a/d/s reference web site found in the speakers forum. There's pictures of most every ads made.
 
Doh! Stuck in this very same forum. :o

I'll go take a look.

EDIT: Nope, it looked absolutely nothing like anything I see in the archives. This one was a lot more flashy, it has a ads badge on the front (under the grill) that had midrange and treble controls, as well as a frequency response chart and all the above specs listed on it. Could I have the wrong ADS?
