I had a pair of Braun LV-1020s and sold ADS in college. They had wonderful drivers, but their recessed front panels still created a bit of diffraction and boxiness.
I think the Polk LSi7s used in a bedroom system and HT would improve on the L400s weaknesses having a denser cabinet (weigh twice as much), no recessed baffle edges, and better crossover components.
As for vintage, I enjoy using thirty year old Acoustat 1+1s with modernized interfaces in the garage system. :)

When I dropped out of college I sold hifi, and the Braun triamps were heaven. Fortunately we had good repair techs, as we blew them up pretty often. (1970's + kids in a hifi shop + recreational chemicals = sudden silence.)
BTW, Sterling Sound kept a pair for mastering until just a few years ago.
Little L300's for the TV in the bedroom still make me smile.

Thank you for that. Nothing more to say. Just thanks. :)

Hi i wonder if some stripes of adesive foam around the domes could cure that
The german domes are unbelievable ... i have seen some mids with a huge magnet indeed
Kind regards,

Ameliorate? Yes. I took a similar approach using felt with double New Advents. All you can do is absorb what should be radiated freely into space.
Hi and i understand and thanks for the advice
I have a friend with a remarkable collection of these dome drivers ... Grundig, Heco, Telefunken ... even Saba
They are very interesting and sound at least nice
Great units !
Kind regards,
