Info needed on ADS L1530 speakers.


I'd like to hear from anybody who purchased the ADS L1530 speakers when new, and can tell me what years these were sold, and what the retail price was. There is a lot of erroneous info out there on these speakers(E-Bay) and I'd like the facts. Thanks for any help. Alan G.

Bought 2 new in 1984 and 2 more after that.

I also have the ADS Sub 10 and the C200 Bi-amplification unit which allows A & B speaker pairs to be powered from same amps with speakers in different rooms.

I have the sales brochures and manuals so if there are any of you that want I can scan and post if there is a way to input scans?

PreAmp and Power Amps all McIntosh (MC 2125 & 2255 used with 2255 on high and mid and 2125 on bass because with the sub there was too much bass for me). ADS's rated at 300 and I wanted to make sure no accidental overloading.

Interesting fact, had bought 4 B&W 801's in 1991 to replace the ADS's (from same store I had bought the ADS's)and after they set them up I felt the ADS's were better sounding. The dealer had 2 guys and the salesman come out and check and listen, they took the 801's back and gave full refund.

There all sitting in a bedroom now as using Mc XRT 30's with 2 Mac 1200 watts and C200 driving them so hopefully explains how good the ADS's are. Sorry, my kids have dibs.

So all you guys with the ADS's, enjoy.
