A pair of winners
ADS presents two best-sellers.
Some facts. And a smattering of opinion.
The ADS L1290
Woven soft-dome tweeter. Benefit: extended high frequency response with low coloration.
1. Tweeter uses high gravity magnetic cooling fluid.
Two-inch soft-dome mid-range. Benefit: exceptional smoothness in critical middle frequencies. Uniform dispersion. Crisp, precise, stereo imaging.
2. Two 8-inch Linear Drive woofers for superb bass response and high output. Each driver mounted in its own acoustic suspension enclosure.
3. Imported walnut cabinet. Also available in matte black.
4. Inside the cabinet: a crossover network built of computer-grade components.
Below and behind: amplifier recess built into cabinet so the bi-amp option can be installed neatly.
Stifflite woofer cones, with high rigidity-to-mass ratio produce quick transient response.
The bottom line: "...unusually flat and smooth response over the full audio range and half an octave beyond, excellent dispersion ... bass distortion lower than that of any common program source except a digital tape or disc."---Stereo Review
The ADS 300
Superbly compact mini-speaker (ADS invented the "mini" and while others have followed we have yet to be topped.) Same soft-dome tweeter technology as larger ADS speakers.
5. Same woofer technology incorporating butyl rubber surround, Stifflite woofer cone.
6. Same high-accuracy crossover technology.
Characteristic, uncolored ADS sound.
"... best mini speaker I have yet heard. Well worth double the price in sonic excellence alone." --- Audio Ideas
No short-cuts taken.
No stone unturned.
