Do you mean desirability from a market standpoint or a personal one?   If we are talking value, I would probably concur with 8W.   If you mean "which ones do I wish I owned", here is my ranking...

PD-10

EV-4

L112

L1230

A-35

I suspect the market is softest for the EV's, but I just love old horn speakers.   Do you have a sensitivity spec on them?

I've never been able to find any sensitivity rating info on them.  Just one person that said they are pretty sensitive.  Have used a 10 WPC T-amp to drive them and it does a pretty good job.

If you them at your disposal give us your ranking.  I've owned the ADS 700 and 710. Liked them both. As far the others i really cant comment.  ranking by price is useless.  could try ranking them by reputation but thats equally subjective.   Are you looking to think the heard?  I would really like to know your thoughts on them.  Without hearing them at all I would pick the ADS, PD10, L112, A35, then the EV.

On 2nd thought flip the jbl and pd10....into that west coast sound right now

Those Tyler's sound nothing short of awesome with 6L6 power.

If I didn't find my Choruses when I did they'd be mine.
