INFORMATION:
Legendary ADS...Analog & Digital Systems, Inc.
Speakers are 3-way 8" low frequency drivers (woofers w rubber surrounds…no need to ever replace) and sticky-dome tweeters and midrange drivers. 

Both dome drivers provide an exceptionally flat and smooth frequency response, and their voice coils are damped and cooled by a proprietary ADS magnetic fluid. The second-order (12-dB-per-octave) crossovers give the L780 system a smooth frequency response and good phase behavior. The system’s rated sensitivity is 88 dB sound-pressure level (SPL) measured at 1 meter with 2.83 volts (1 watt) of pink noise from 20 to 20.000 Hz. Its frequency response is specified as ranging from 42 to 27.000 Hz ± 3 dB.

The speakers sound as seamless and effortless as their nearly ideal measured performance would imply. In fact, the only surprise (and it was not entirely unexpected) was that this moderate-sized “bookshelf’ speaker sounded very much like some of the better floor-standing units I have tested.
