Vermont Here! Old guy with old stuff!

[Harpoonalt]

Glad your here,
Now you can start over and relive your misspent youth

LOL, Considering I survived it, I'm impressed with my youthful self for at least buying good shit for my old self to still enjoy!

Great introduction. Welcome to AK! Have fun!

 

[PabloX]

Welcome and nice system. There's a few others here with L980s (including me).

Welcome on board the SS AK.

Great intro...great detail.

Thanks for the background share.

Welcome and nice system. There's a few others here with L980s (including me).

Amazingly, the speakers still sound damn good after almost 40 years. My first speakers were the ADS subwoofer set-up. My dealer (when there were such things) had people come to my apartment to check them out. After blowing the output twice on the sub, I traded for the 980's. Weed and youthful exuberance caused too many "crank it up" episodes. Curious if you've ever done the crossover and bi-amp route on the 980's? Always wanted to try it and see how it sounded. Cheers!

I'm not surprised they still sound good (and nice job on the subwoofer :-> ).

I haven't tried the crossover/bi-amp but from what I understand, the crossovers are very difficult to find. Glenn (GD70) might be able to give you some more info but there's some good threads here.

A belated welcome. Former Vermonter (South Barre) transplanted to Spokane Wa. There is a wealth of knowledge here. Best.

Thanks! Having been out of the audio realm for years, this site has been invaluable in getting me back up to speed.
