Just found today a pair of ADS L690 for $12 they look good need some cleaning. Have to wait to get home and test them but for now will get some wings at Hooters.

Cheers

    .... oh those engineers are always thinking about their end-users...
    How many CDs should we make the new changer hold, Yoshi?
    Easy, Yuki! Sixty-one, of course!
    <Yoshi and Yuki both laugh uproariously then swig some more sake>

    The ads L-690s are a great acquisition if the drivers are all working...

    LOL!! :lol:The reason for 61 is the 1 is for the quick change single play slot, it plays the 1 disk and quits.
    Strange they came up with the 60 rather than just 50 though and to make things more confusing they also
    made a 111 (55x2) player why wasn't it 121 (60x2) ?

    Well after testing all drivers are good. Really like the front stage for their small size,

    I knew what the "1" was - but, yeah, doesn't the "60" seem kind of random :-)

    FWIW, I am not a huge fan of the ads L-780 or the L-780/2. They should be on par with the earlier ads three-ways, and I had a beautiful pair for a while... but they just seemed kind of lifeless, kind of meh to me compared to my L-710s. I think that the L-710/L-810/L-910 are just superb vintage "monkey coffin" (sealed box) loudspeakers.

    SDA's for 10 bucks. That's incredible! You'll be smiling for "years"!

    As for ADS, also a GREAT price on those. Drivers not that different from my much smaller 2 way L520s which I refer to as "keepers". Although I'd like to hear the three ways that mhardy mentions. Seen lots of those, seen the ads, specs, reviews, etc. But never heard a pair?

    Though I've said this before, it won't hurt to repeat it here: I love the way ADS sound with vintage Yamaha receivers and integrateds. I run mine on a Yamana CR-800. Very, very nice!

    Have fun guys.

    Quick question . what is the ohm rating on the sda 2 speakers with the interchange cable and with out it ? my vintage pioneer receiver don't drop below 8 ohm's stable i can go up in ohms but cant drop below 8, and to achieve higher ohms can i wire in series to my sansui speakers and still use the interchange cable ?

    I believe the SDA 2s are 4 OHM speakers. I have a pair of SDA 2Bs and I believe the SDA 2Bs were the first speakers in the SDA series to be rated above 4 OHMs. The SDa 2Bs are rated at 6 OHMs. The earlier SDA 2s and SDA 1s are rated at 4 OHMs. I am pretty sure about that but, to be safe, please await confirmation from some of the SDA experts on this site. There is also a great resource - the SDA Handbook - floating around that has pics and specs of each speaker in the SDA line. It is in one of the threads but I forget which one. Thanks. Welcome to the world of Polk SDAs. They are amazing speakers - once you've heard them, there is no going back!!!

    Geez, some guys have all the luck. We recently got a Goodwill in a nearby town that I have checked from time to time, but I have yet to find ANYTHING worth buying. Maybe I'll get lucky someday. Congrats!!!

    Don't know about the Goodwill's down there, but I've definitely driven down to Houston before just to snag a speaker or two off craigslist. You do get your gems occasionally, even if they are snatched up by "Northerners" :cool:

    Sounds awfully expensive to me unless it is really something special... I am used to finding these gratis at my favorite local vintage audio emporium (which, to me, is about the right price, since the market demand for 'em is pretty darned low nowadays).

    I'd agree with mhardy. I run an old Sony I picked up for $9 dollars in a vintage system that I bet would rival or beat the HK DVD player? Those players were not that expensive originally, if I'm not mistaken?

    I should add, though, that mhardy has been spoiled by his "unprecedented" cheap access to used goods at his favorite emporium. And that those of us who come from more "sparsely" populated areas have to look "longer and harder" for those bargains?

    The older DVD players that bring decent money in the used market are the SACD capable ones. Just being HD-DVD (an obsolete format that lost the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD wars) doesn't make it inherently more expensive. At a pawn shop, that thing shouldn't be priced any higher than a standard DVD player.
