  1. There is a pair of Model Fives for sale in N Augusta, SC. Look to be in very nice original shape. facebook marketplace. Feb 11, 2021 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/900310890704066/?ref=search&referral_code=undefined
  2. Be patient, they come up every now and then and they are worth the wait. I've had mine for about 10 years and they are my favorite speaker for 2 channel listening. Classic styling, built like tanks and a very mellow sound but with very full bass.
  3. Looking for a single ADS L 520 if anyone has one. Slim chance but worth a shot! thx Tom
  4. Looking for a single orphan KLH Model Six speaker. thx
  5. If you still have these, I'll make the trip. I'm in Columbia, SC thx Tom

    ADS L520

    Thanks Glitch. I think either would work? I did test the " bad" one and tested direct from my receiver and no sound. I did not disconnect it from the crossover because it's soldered and I don't know how to solder. When I touched the speaker wire for my receiver to the Woffor clips no sound but the Tweeter worked fine through it that way. So I think I'll switch woofers and see if it works that way just to eliminate a crossover problem. Does that make sense?

    BTW- this record collection I picked up while buying his speakers...OMG over 300 LP's 60's, 70's rock. My wife is NONE too happy

    Well...one dead woofer. The other speaker sounds excellent. Now I need to find a replacement woof. There are no part numbers on the driver. There are a couple of drivers on eeebay, both listed for the L520 but they have different part numbers. 206-0326 and 206-0323. ?

    And they do have rubber surrounds. The best part...the gentleman was getting rid of his vinyl collection and I bought over 100 albums! Some real classics...

    ADS L520

    I have found out more...they are indeed an earlier model. I did aquire them this afternoon. Other than the cabinets, they appear to be in very good shape and at first listen, I think I'm going to love these. They are vinyl covered and have fabric grills. Drivers look very good. Thank you all for the advice, VERY much appreciated.

    Seller is asking $100 but agreed to $60. I thought 100 was a bit high...

    Thanks so much. Great advice! Here is the only photo that I have. Seller tells me they are all original and all drivers working. Going to see them in a day or two.

    ADS L520

    I've never owned any ADS speakers but am very curious to hear and play around. Have an opportunity to buy a pair of L520 for $60. I've only seen some photos of them on the CL ad. Cabs are in rough shape, chipped corners and what looks like peeling vinyl. I have read that the cabs are wood veener. Did they make these w vinyl coverings? Looks to have cloth grills, not metal. Maybe an earlier version? Am going to look in a couple of days so hopefully some can comment. Opinions? Decent value? Thx Tom
  15. I think I'm at that same conclusion. There's an excellent tech here in Columbia, SC. Thanks for the dialogue. Tom
