Who uses ADS Speakers

Dear @brownsfan ​@au_lait  : I never heard the 1290 or other ADS speakers but my L-2030.

I agree that all those switchs makes more harm to the audio signal. Please take a look to what what I posted in this thread:

Even that my 2030 goes really down in the bass I decided to add a pair of powered subwoofers and the high pass filter at around 80hz, so de 2030 frequency range is from 80hz and up and below 80 hz is handled by my Velodyne subs.

The improvement was " day and nigth " because the IMD levels goes really down and everything in the whole frequency range just shines as never before. The 1290 crossover at 500hz when the 2030 crossover at 450hz  so I'm totally sure on this specific improvement regards.

Thanks @rauliruegas - I was looking for a couple years for the C2000 but its really hard to find, and once I did actually find it but the sale didn't go through. I was then willing to try a Bryston 10b but all the reading I did about bi-amping these speaker just didn't really add up, and I was never that interested in a sub.... but I'm happy to read your experience and now might look at trying it again now with a sub. I don't know if I would want to wire direct to my amps, I move house too much for that.

I use ADS speakers in my main system.  I have the L1290 that were completely rebuilt by Richard So (tweeters, midrange, woofers and crossovers) that I drive with a Jolida 60W tube amp.  They sound great.

However, I keep thinking, would more modern speakers sound better?  What caught my interest are the new KLH Model 5 speakers, since they are also an acoustic suspension design.  Would they sound any better?
 

I bought some L810s around 11 months ago and haven't yet thought about removing them from the system. In fact, all I've thought about is buying another pair as back-up.

I have been using a ADS Sub 10 in my main audio system for the past more than 15 years and it has continually performed very well - augmenting my system with deep clean base.

Wile other speakers come and go my ADS sub will stay till it dies......Jim
