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.

Looking for a single ADS L 520 if anyone has one. Slim chance but worth a shot!

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?

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.

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

I think I'm at that same conclusion. There's an excellent tech here in Columbia, SC. Thanks for the dialogue.

Yes, I sure did. All the Woofers produce sound from another source. They just aren't getting a power source through the speakers amp.

yes, I looked for that, no fuses. Also double checked the connections. Thank you.

I have a nice pair of Snell XA 90ps with the amplified powered subs (2 in each box). On one speaker the amp is not working, it powers up, red LED illuminates on the front of the cabinet but no sound. Drivers tested fine and produce sound, just not from the amp. Anyone know how to get this repaired? All of the other drivers are working fine, just the 2 - 10" subs are not getting powered by the amp. I'm told that the micro control board goes defective on some of these. My plan is to sell these as they are too big now for my living quarters but I want to have a fully functioning pair to sell vs. something that needs repair. BTW if anyone is interested in them, repaired or as is, message me. These are awfully nice speakers and were right at $7K a pair when new. A good deal awaits someone looking for these!
Are these KLH 5s worth buying?
