Not to fret, ADS speakers still hold their own quite well! I have the L1290/2 and L1590/2, and have no thoughts of ever getting rid of them, because what else can you find that sounds so goooood for the money? And the magic is still there!
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.
