2030's, 1530's, and 1230's!!! Wow! I'd like to have that collection! :yes:
Plus, the 1530's are priced at a more reasonable $750. While not a scroe,
not bad, considering their condition. And while $4K is a bit rich, for the 2030's;
they're probably worth that price. Though, he probably won't get that price... :drool:

Damn it! You just had to post this. I live in Pickering, ON and have always wanted to try the 810's......don't want to spend the funds right now though
Go get those 810's
Glad I indicated "unless I'm missing something" - only feel half as dumb now - my (half) bad

Waiting for Vintage Gear from this century
Well that 4000 might be just about right since these sold for 4195 list (at one point in their sales period) and adjusted for inflation, that is what, $47 million or something like that in today's dollars.
But really 4 grand can buy a lot of speakers are these any better than the Vandersteens, TW7, Beveridge, Magneplanar and such that can command this price all day long?
You guys need to click on his other items and see some of the other speakers he has for sale. He has 3 versions of the ADS 810 listed in one ad.

I really don't understand collectors that buy 5-30 of the exact same thing in perfect condition and stack them up in storage. I mean, if it there is some notion of appreciating value, I could understand that even if there are much better ways to grow a bit of money, but when the sell offs happen, it never seems like that was the plan. Seems like they just wanted to HAVE them.
I've seen 2030's going for anywhere in the $1K to $2K range in the US, mostly local listings but once in a blue moon a pair will hit eBay.
$4K is pretty up there.
I do like the guy's taste in speakers, must be nice to be able to sit on that many and in that kind of condition too. I'm overflowing with a pair of L1230's, 2x L1290/2, and a pair of L710 at my place. Of course, the three pair of vintage JBL that keep those company aren't helping the space issue.

Having met Dr. Godehard Guenther in person back in the late 70's at a local in-store ADS speaker demonstration, I have always had an appreciation for the vintage line of ADS speakers and they are among my absolute favorites. Looking at those photos, all I can think of is this must be what ADS heaven looks like. Serious drool factor.
