If I did not already own ADS L1230s, I'd be interested in the ADS 710s.  Nice speakers!!

Looks like the same driver compliment in a larger box.   They really are very good sounding speakers.

I agree, I have the L810s and I love those speakers, they sound really nice.   I really am interested in those Technics.  Dont see those to often.

If it were not for the fact I may soon be getting a pristine pair of LST2s I would have to give those a listen.

I just listed the EPIs by themselves with pictures.   I said "pretty good corner bumps", so I decided pictures may be in order so people understand it is just the vinyl and not any sort of structural damage.

Onkyo receiver and Sony speakers sold.   They make a really nice little bedroom system together.

I had a response to my ad today.   It was a four word message that read "you talk too much".   That may be so, but at least I don't hide behind an anonymous CL address.   If it was one of you, man up and tell me what your issue is.   I'm a reasonable guy and can probably learn something from you.   TIA.

ESM asked for a pic of my binding posts, so I figured I'd put a couple pics up for everyone.   I didn't feel like dragging them upstairs and my camera sucks, so sorry they aren't better.







The binding posts are the only thing I don't like about these speakers.   If I keep 'em, I may have to mod 'em.

Those ADS Look fantastic. I really need to get my hands on a pair of speakers w/ dome mids, I hear good things.

You bring life to the forum but are humble enough to back down and admit when you are wrong. I like that.

Get your hands on these.   They are quite heavy for their size too.   Picking them up you could be fooled into thinking they are a solid block of wood.

Thanks for the backup, but I am serious.   I'd much rather see whoever did that work it out than pull some sort of passive aggressive crap.   It hurts them far more than it hurts me.

Let  sleeping dogs lie. If it is someone on here and they had the cojones they would have called you out by now.
