What speakers of today sound most like old A/D/S ?


I've gone thru many speakers up to 5K & while they imaged better, had more bass, and play louder very few sounded as smooth, musical and listenable as the old A/D/S..problem is these speakers being a decade old, I can't find the models I want, in the condition I want & A/D/S doesn't make large models anymore...

What speakers of today sound most like old A/D/S ? I friend told me to check out Coincident, Silverline, Solilioquy, Dynaudio but are there any models in specific that are worthwhile, also how are vandersteens?

Being an a/d/s fan myself, all I can tell you is be patient and good used a/d/s will come. You may want to check Ebay, there's always a/d/s there. Or, if you are like me and hate to ship speakers, you must have a "wantad" or "trader" type publication in your area. Keep watching, they'll be there eventually.

I have L1590's in my office with the biamp modules, love 'em! True, not the most resolving, however very easy to listen to for extended periods.

As to what continues the a/d/s tradition, you may consider Aerial. Michael Kelly was with a/d/s for quite a while. I have his 10t's, and they are different, but quite excellent IMHO.

Good luck!
