In Reply to: RE: ADS L1590-2 today? posted by Rnm4 on February 20, 2014 at 14:10:07
I can tell you from experience that ADS speakers are one of the favorites of audiophiles everywhere, especially when you drive them with vacuum tube amps and preamps..I have a pair of 810s and a pair of L-620s and the smaller 2 way ADS/Brauns and ADS speakers sonically reminded of my AR3s in many ways with the dome mids and tweeters and the sealed cabinets.The ADS were first speaker designed by computers and they did a great job for a dynamic speaker.
Are their speakers today will excel over the 1590s? Absolutely but the speakers I like in the 2k dollar range would be the Magnepan 1.7s and those are not practical unless you have a dedicated room.
Honest amplification is better than 2nd order distortion anytime.

...when the 1230 and 1530 were replaced by the 1290 and the 1590. The 90-Series was good, but the 30-Series was so much better.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
I've had my 1230s for 31 years. I've heard other speakers since then, but none that impressed me enough to "upgrade". I've found the 1230 to be a speaker that does well with all kinds of music, classical especially.
I'd need to spend thousands to get speakers that would eclipse what I have.

That happens a lot in speakers..The so called improvements many times are not as good as the previous offering.

I tried them with multiple different tube amps mike, He would be much better off buying the Magnepan's.
I picked up a pair of the 1590's a ways back. Brought them home with hopes that they were going to sound as good as they looked. Well that just wasn't the case. The Valve was half closed, Not very open at all. Just trying to help a guy, There are much better options out there for under 2k
Maybe a nice pair of Spendors?
I agree
I think Maggies are wonderful..
