The ADS L810 is the bigger sibling in ADS’s legendary lineup of acoustic suspension speakers, and it’s a heavy hitter in the world of vintage hi-fi. Released in the late 1970s, the L810 builds on the success of the smaller L710, offering deeper bass, bigger dynamics, and a fuller soundstage while maintaining the neutrality and detail that ADS speakers are known for. If you’ve ever wanted a speaker that marries effortless musicality with a rugged, no-nonsense design, the L810 is ready to deliver.
This isn’t just a speaker—it’s a statement, a cornerstone for serious listeners who want to feel their music without sacrificing clarity.
