| Who uses ADS Speakers In the late 70's or early eighties I owned a pair of A D S L1290 floor standing speakers in walnut finish. They were stunning looking speakers with the black metal perforated grille. I loved that the metal grill cover was mounted with pins that pu... | |

| Hearing loss Hi @larsman I keep telling myself that my hearing hasn't diminished far enough to warrant hearing aids. (but I really know better...LOL). My wife would advocate for the aids............. | |
| Hearing loss Hi, I suppose there is a correlation between sustained hi decibel headphone listening But let's consider another angle; I for one am grateful for the evolution of headphones over the last 10 or so, years. I am 74 years old, so obviously have ... | |
