Yes ADS speakers are very dear to a lot of peeps. This is the 2nd forum that is still going for more than a decade????? Wow
So the debate is centering on 980 versus 1590. I have the 980, LOVE em, and over time have acquired 2 pristine 980 12" woofers. Question: should I copy the 1590 format, 2 woofer towers, or use the extra 12"ers as subs. I am not a fan of pounding bass but I have the Marantz LFC that is designed to soften sub pounding, "be a good neighbor".
I haven't heard the 1590's yet but due to selling our house and now in a smaller townhome I am listening to 2 sets of Braun 715's. There is bass in this set up, oh yah, and I use the LFC to tame the booming. My present power amp is a Butler Audio TDB 5150.
I also have a pairs of Braun LS120, ADSL8e's, SAT6's 400e's and I hope to pair my 980's in some kind of combo with some of that I own.
