Who uses ADS Speakers


I worked at ADS in The late 70s and Find they are one of the best home speakers ever.

I always loved their accuracy.

Still have my 710's purchased early 80's new. Sound fine for a second system primarily used for TV/movie sound. 

I purchased the ADS Sub-Sat system in the early 1980's and they served in my main system for about a decade.  They are my son's main system today and he loves them.  I did have to replace the caps in the subwoofer amp a few years ago.  Not bad after ~35 years of continued use.

Michael Kelly is a true gentleman and a great speaker designer.  I had dinner with him once in Boston when I sold his Aerial speakers in my audio store.  Needless to say, the Aerials are superb speakers as well.

Dear @dougthebiker  : " the Aerials are superb speakers as well. "

 

You are rigth, M.Kelly is a very knowledge high levels on speaker design. Fortunatelly I own the 2030 but if not probably Aerial could " live " in my system.

ADS threads come up periodically and it’s always nice to see these speakers get their due. I have LL1290 mkII powered by an HK 430 receiver and they sound absurdly good together. I think I paid like $500 combined, maybe 12 years ago. A crazy bargain.

Have run 710's and 910's for nearly 20 years.

710's for vocals and classical.

910's sound good with every kind of music.

For my ear-brain connection and considering my bank account, I have need of no other speakers
