@hypoman see my post about FB ADS group and Richard So who specialize in repair.

There is a guy Richard So on the ADS FB group that specializes in parts, rebuilds, etc FYI. 

Almost forgot my 780 Mk2 are on loan to a buddy down the street…Still rocking in the free world…

There are those who probably also remember the Nakamichi / ADS system in the metal flight case. …. I had parts of that in my Camaro back in the day… The ADS plate amp and speakers in particular w a Concord head unit….FUN

@rauliruegas ​​​​@sbank thanks so much for jogging my memory. Congrats Raul for taking the 2030 up many levels. Would be a hoot to hear them someday. My 7’s have a rear firing tweeter which i very rarely use as i don’t have an overly dead room. Every now and again it’s use helpful in spritzing up a dead recording, typically close mic stuff. Interesting addition. Best to you two truly experienced, high sample size passionate audiophiles.

We carried ADS and displayed the formidable 2030. They were stock but could be easily biamped which we did w a variety of SS and tube amps, notably the CJ Premier. My memory is we sold 3 pair, which given cost / size and complexity was excellent. We carried Infinity and a bevy of ESL, but properly setup they certainly had significant virtues. Given modern cabinet construction advances, i would say the cabinet was the weak link ( same as Infinity ). Man could they rock but still the excellent and sweet dome mid. Obviously we sold a lot of 810 and 710, excellent. ADS had probably the only cat proof and quasi transparent grill on the market….metal perfplate. This is a brand that deserves resurrection. Remember the disaster foray into electronics ? ha.
