as was previously mentioned. The Emo gear is a bit lean sounding and the analog section of a CDP can make a marked difference as well. I find some op amp based preamps and source components fatiguing, too.
Did you mean Polk RTi9 speakers? I've compared my New Advents to smaller Polk LSi9 standmounts and find the Advents less neutral through the lower midrange.
I used to sell the ADS line and know the 710 well. I had LV1020s for a while myself. They are a touch boxy sounding in that range which is pretty much absent with modern speakers.

Do you remember the ADS M9? It was a three way with dome mids and tweets. Quite nice. I had a pair.

Not familiar with that model. I was involved with them from about '74-'79.
During those years, the audio shop where I worked sold lots of systems using H-K 430/730 receivers, ADS 710/810 speakers with Philips 212 turntables using Sonus Red/Green cartridges.
Darn nice systems for that day.
I am familiar with everything in that system. That would have been a very good system for the money and it would sound great on every kind of music I can think of. I sold audio equipment in the 80's, so my system of choice, in that range, was a Denon turntable and receiver, Precept or Denon cartridge with ADS or Energy speakers. Models would be dependent on what they wanted to spend. For less money, it would be Yamaha, Energy or Boston Acoustics, and Precept.

Look up the HKK AVR7000 online. It was HK's top of the line receiver in about 2000. The MSRP was $1,800
one can easily find information on the Harman-Kardon 7000.
If you return to my post, click the embedded link and see if those are your friend's speakers. The model # you gave is non-existent.
