A/D/S L1590 (Braun) Loudspeakers; A forgotten brand and misunderstood hype.

Given some context and biography of a storied 1980's hifi brand. Who is Dr. Godehard A. Guenther? How about Michael Kelly from Aerial Acoustics. Yeah, A/D/S had some heavy hitters behind them.

Thank you for talking slowly, articulately and peacefully. A breath of fresh air for my ears and brain. It was a relaxing discussion not having that rediculous sound of excitement and yelling. It drives my autism and ADHD apparently bonkers. I was able to listen to this whole video focused and enjoyed the calm passion.

I'm 17, and have been on an audio journey for quite a while now. I never had anything too great until I found a pair of 710's in in my uncles attic!! I didn't know what they were and was just happy to get another pair of speakers. I feel so lucky to have such great sounding speakers so early in my life, I've never heard anything better and with the way people talk about them online I'm not sure I will anytime soon

[@oldman8277]

Blast from the past! Thanks for covering them!

[@arichison]

Finally someone who knows this brand and loves it like me! I also have numerous ADS models. Two sets of towers and L1590s . Thank you so much for this video.

[@obtugtxivtub]

I have had 710, 810, 630, 880, 980, 1290, and 1230. Love them all. Just didn’t have room for them. Still have the 630 in my living room. It does everything for me.

[@user-qm7nw7vd5s]

I have two sets of the 1290, a set of 710 and 810 and L780 and L200e. Yep! They are indeed, pretty addictive. ALL ORIGINAL, no rebuilt or re-coned.

Tanks for this video ADS is my favorite brand in vintage speakers.Ihave 300e love de aluminum cabinet solid mid base for the size.

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

I have been a ADS fan since I was in high school in the late 70's. My first pair were L-570's. I found some L-710's and a SW-4 10" sub used in the mid 80's. Sold the 570's, but still have some B-7's and a couple pairs of the ADS mini speakers. My 710's sound so good I have strayed but always came back to them. Currently powered by a vintage McIntosh 2100 amp. Never had the money or space for any of the larger ADS...still wanted them though.

[@FanOWater]

I've been using Braun LS100's since 1986. They are still my daily drivers. I love them. I'll be extremely sad if they ever fail.

[@stevenbrower6156]

Good day, just happen to view your video on the ADS L1590, good info. I have the L1230's (circa 1987) and can agree that these are great. I just stumbled on to a pair (traded in) at a McIntosh dealer next to an assortment of high-level B&W's, bad news for B&Ws. As I played these everyone in the shop asked, "what I was listening to and can they purchase them". (Funny) Once the owner heard the conversation, he asked to talk to me privately. He simply said, "why don't I help you load them on your truck and check them out at home, just get them out of the store." I later paid $400. I did talk to Mike Kelly (Areila Acoustics) by phone (very gracious with his time) in Mass in the same town he helped design the L1230. They sound great still...... but thinking now to check out caps, any suggestion would be appreciated. Appreciate your honest sound reviews, thanks!

[@brandonburr4900]

I appreciated this video on ads speakers and would appreciate more in the future on other models you have had experiences with. I always felt these are sorta forgotten about. So many models out there would be nice to know what recommendation for a good small monitor. Thanks!

[@Abaddon231]

My brother in law gave me my first set of ADS speakers years ago , A pair of L300e ,

[@hi-fihaven2257]

A buddy of mine bought a pair when they came out with the the plate amps. For a source we used my Hitachi DA-1000 CD player. His neighbors did not like us that day and night. We spun CD’s for about 8 hours straight. FYI: 35 years later he still has them, and they still sound awesome!

[@calvincurry8496]

Love your Reviews and Esp knowledge of Audio History. Would love you to talk about The Snell Audio Speakers. And the Dayton Wright Audio Speakers ( esp The DW XAM 1s ,)etc

[@andylubetkin6579]

I have a pair of those l 1590's I bought in 1986 still in immaculate condition like yours... I still have the covers too. I wish I had the special biamplification amp you could stick on the back... I've never found a speaker a like better.. They can really pump out some volume too. ADS also made the very best car audio speakers as well and the the ads car stereo amplifiers were the best as well..Love ADS!

[@DrGIzmoBRad]

Just discovered your channel, and very much appreciate the history of Dr. Gunther and his connection to ADS. I used ADS car amplifiers and speakers for years. I've got a pair of L300C speakers and brought them up to date by replacing sand cast resistors and electrolytic capacitors with non-inductive Eagle resistors and Dayton polyester film caps. The original electrolytic caps were quite dreadful sounding. I also bought a 7" ADS woofer pulled from a L710 speaker. I put it into a 1 cubic foot sealed cabinet to make a powered sub-woofer to augment the L300Cs.

[@trog69]

I only learned about ADS about five years ago, when I saw a pair of L810s on their stands and had to have summa dat! A month later I got my own pair and loved them immensely. A year later I was fortunate to have a pair of immaculate 910s practically drop into my lap. They're likely my end-game loudspeakers.

[@jazzbase412]

You are correct about the ADS. Thank you for this review.

[@callthelaw898]

Great info, thanks.

[@mostirreverent]

I’m still running my L880 speakers that I bought at a tweeter etc. warehouse sale for 500 bucks, back in 1987. I still love them. I’m driving them with an Adcom GFA 555 mk1
