My neighbor had the ADS studio monitors, rdm-1 or something. A 10" woofer, dome mid and two tweeters with a toggle switch to match the tweeter to standing the speaker or laying it down. He talked me into a pair of ADS L9e that weren't bad for the size and price, but I did find them a bit bright.

Timely post My dad has had l810’s since he bought them new in 1980 or thereabouts. In the late 70’s / early 80’s they were paired with a big Technics receiver (I think a 5250) and then in the 80’s with a Carver MX900 receiver and now with a lower end Cambridge 100 watt receiver (axr100 I think). He’s recently inquired about replacing them with some more detailed bookshelf’s but I’m wondering if it would be worth it do look into a doing some kind of service on them. They’ve been used a lot for 40 years … but only moved once in one house move and have stayed in great shape. Sending them to Richard So seems excessive given their size. Would it just be a crossover refresh? If he gets rid of them , I’ll end up with them, so either way I’d like to ensure they are performing best as possible. any advice appreciated pic of his l810 here :

@j_andrews Did you ever get your 810's refreshed? I have a paid that Richard So worked on and that came out fantastic. I am lucky enough to live not too far away from him so it was a pretty easy process... |
