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.
Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S?
I have found through my many years of audio that I find a particular sound that is most pleasant. I've always loved the Canadian brands - Paradigm, PSB, Energy, Mirage, etc. I've also always found that the classic ADS speakers were very enjoyable and also have a very similar sound. I love the the Braun manufactured drivers, but I also found the late 80's and 90's speakers to be outstanding. I wish A/D/S was still around....I guess I will have to continue listening to their vintage models.
