I remember buying a pair of the ADS 810 speakers back in the 70's. I went to some audio store in Boston to hear them and was really impressed. I thought the midrange and tweeter looked cool too. I ended up buying them and taking them back home to Rhode Island to listen to them in my bedroom. At first, I thought I liked them but I had to keep telling myself that the ADS 810's were better than the Rectilinear III speakers that I sold to purchase the ADS. I was using Kenwood's top of the line integrated amp which put out 80wpc and a Thorens TD165 turntable, Shure V15 Type 2 cartridge and a Teac A450 cassette deck with the speakers. It was an excellent set of electronics and turntable for its day but I never could get the speakers to sound as good as I thought they did in the store.
I sold the ADS to a friend 3 months later and bought the newer Rectilinear 7 speakers but the magic was lost.
