My best " deal " find

[Stan man]

Hi all,
my modem's been down. I actully got these last friday at a thrift store for $20.00 .
The drivers are perfect, no grills though. I'm very impressed with their "sophisticated" sound. No etch or glare and beautilffully extended bass down into the upper thirties.
I can't find much info on these ADS L990s. Any help apreciated.

Thanks. Stan

I've owned an orphan L990 for about three years and keep hoping to locate a mate for it. Very nice sounding speaker. Great find! :thmbsp:
