ADS L810 Newbie is WAY unhappy! Help...

All hail tweeter protection fuses. Saved my bacon (and tweets on L-1290's) when my 550W amp shorted...
 
1290

550..What would be a grand amplifier for these.......I have only bean able to listen to them with an Onk M 504........Any suggestions...anyone?.....within reasonable price range......Would it be worth it?
 
If you search "ADS Power" you'll find plenty of reading. Generally accepted that more is good, but quality counts. Pro Crown stuff would be a good start.

I'm using moderately low powered tubes with 810's to good effect. SPL is not my main concern.

Often, overdriving low-powered amps causes excessive clipping which can overheat the voice coils, usually in the tweeter first as there are fewer wire turns there to absorb the heat. Clean power avoids this, but foolish application of excessive power is also dangerous, hence the fuses.

If you're interested in specific amps for your particular application, feel free to start your own thread. Weees luvs our Ads's.

Don't cut your Onkyo M-504......that's a great amp. Find a M-508 if you like the 504 sound....you'll just get more of it!

Best,

Paul :thmbsp:

Okay...it was the fuses! On both speakers!!! I initially looked at the fuses rather quickly to see the wire was intact. Yup. Did some more farting around. Nothing was working so I pulled the fuses again and pulled out my magnifying glass. Holy smokes - both fuses had broken wires inside but the breaks were so close to the metal ends that you barely tell they were out of commission. There were no spares in the lower part of the box so I took a quick trip to the hardware store to get new fuses. Voila...they really sound sooooo different with those high frequencies. I put Ella Sings Cole Porter on the ol' Technics 1200 and, to tell you the truth, I'm in ecstasy. Wonderful sound, folks. The ADS experience is pretty powerful so far...
Thanks to one and all...

Glad it was nothing major. Enjoy those speakers! Would like to hear some someday myself :thmbsp:
