ADS L-980s


Does anyone have any information on the ADS L-980 series speakers? I've been told that at one time, they were one of the premier studio reference speakers used in recording studios.

I have a pair. I'm trying to find reviews / history / ratings / etc. on them.

Thanks

i had l-810 mkII's and l-1590's. the cabinets were beautiful
(walnut with corner-accents, or rosewood). they had fuses to protect the dome tweeter, which you could easily replace (i had to a couple of times after buying a high-current amp).
they produced a stereo soundfield which for me was better than almost everything else i got to hear at the time, especially on classical recordings, and a wonderful tonal balance. not great for cranking up black sabbath records though. i regret selling those speakers to this day, and can't recommend them enough to others looking for something special from the good old days. just remember to get some fuses from radio shack just in case...
