Gorgeous pair of all original ADS L1590 speakers. These were ADS’s top of the line home audio speakers in 1986 and the fit and finish is GORGEOUS.
Spec wise, the L1590 has 2 10” woofers with an enormous amount of sealed enclosure behind them, this both makes for an incredibly few frequency response ( quoted down to 29Hz by ADS at the time ) and a very controlled response thanks to a lack of ports. The tweeter combination of the 2” silk dome mid tweeter and 1” higher frequency tweeter are what has made ADS (and braun) speakers beloved by many for so long, the high frequency response and overall imaging is stunning and they simply sound as good as anything I’ve ever heard. I am only selling these because of their sheer size and the number of speakers with a more sentimental attachment I already own.
The cabinets and drivers are in excellent shape, minimal nicks and scratches but no heavy wear anywhere on them at all. They still have their book matched covers for the terminals and controls on back which are missing on many pairs of these. The grills were squished while in storage by their previous (original owner) so they have 2 pins broken (1 on each) and they’re a little bent up, they’d honestly need to just be replaced if they were to be used. I will of course include them but you may as well assume you will not use them.
These are huge (100 pounds each and 4 feet tall) shipping will be complicated and very expensive in terms of both materials, time and cost. I have quoted it as fairly as possible. I very much encourage local pickup and could even meet someone within and hour and a half or so from okc assuming a fair closing price and prepayment.
