    I've always heard great things about ADS. I'm considering some ADS speakers for the garage rig I'm putting together actually.

    $100 seems like a great price for those.

    APC H10 Power Conditioner
    Marantz UD5005 universal player
    Parasound Halo P5 preamp
    Parasound HCA-1200II power amp

    Audioquest Speaker Cables and IC's

    If the drivers are all working I would buy them. Replacement drivers are hard to get.

    I have a set of ADS L-620's and a set of ADS L-810's and love 'em.

    No listening fatigue and very revealing. Sound good on all kinds of music.

    Maybe offer $75 and see what happens.
