Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S?

Huge ADS fan! I have owned many pairs and still have about three or four including a mint pair of 1530's. Johnnyn53 when did the life style models come out? Are you referring to the M series as well as the Cm's and the Sat stuff? I ask because I have a pair of Sat 7's in my cabin and I'm not sure I like them as well as my L8e's or the L710. They sound great but seem lacking in the mid-range on some music.

I still remember how excited I was to find a used pair of L570s buried under a shelf at a Boston pawn shop, covered in dust. This was back in '95 I think, before my income allowed me to spend more time with better equipment. I couldn't throw my money at the guy behind the counter for those L570s fast enough.

I can't say I miss A/D/S - I recall them being a nicely balanced speaker but not very resolving when I compared them to some B&W 704 that finally replaced them, and they sure didn't throw much of a sound stage or "disappear". But I don't think I ever got to hear any A/D/S floorstanders, or anything higher up the line, so I may have missed that boat. I did enjoy those L570s for a while, but now after enjoying other things I don't think I'd want to go back. I'm glad you posted the question...it's nice to revisit memory lane every so often!

I had a pair of ADS CM-7's back in the 90's and they were a great little monitor. You are right,they were very enjoyable.Wish I still had them...

I had some ADS but replaced them with Allison I's which made them sound like toys. Allison is THE brand I miss most.

I always liked ADS but plenty of other fish in the sea these days, so que sera' sera'.

Tandberg and Nakamichi are the lines not around these days that I miss the most.
