I owned the ADS L1230 for over 15 years and have since given them to my son which is he still using today. They sound great even today. Never had one issue with the drivers, but found that the tweeter fuses were very sensitive to blowing which is probably a good thing as I would have most likely blown the tweeters from over cranking them.

My brother still owns today the larger of the monitors the ADS 1530 with two 10 inch woofers and the samarium colbolt magnets on the tweeters.

These speakers were used at one time as mixing monitors at Telac Labs now defunct.
