Actually, Yes

Would remind me of a much better, happier time when you were not rushed to meet some deadline, read and see the world trying destroy itself worse than ever, at the airline terminal the customer still mattered and was treated as such, when a car was just that and not a load of electronics that cost a fortune to display and a replacement tail light lens cost $2 and not $500, when in the evening you and the family would stroll the neighborhood kids in hand without fear. Shall I go one. Oh, and engineers like Saul, Frank, Peter, Biggs, Smith, Hafler, and many others were engineering and making high quality audio components and they were being manufactured in the US. Oh, and you could go the Kalamazoo and order a Checker Marathon and go to the local car dealer and really built that new car the way you wanted without paying huge penalties.

Yes, give me ads that look like they were penned by Fisher during their tube heyday as that ad reminds me of just that. The new ads generate no positive emotions in me; making me want to enjoy an afternoon at the audio salon sipping some wine while sitting with a knowledgeable sales person who was not reminding himself of what to push that day or calculating a commission while totally ignoring the customer. If anything, just the opposite since they simply confuse me with numbers and giving me the feeling I had to already know it all when I went in to see some order taker posing as a knowledgeable salesperson who in reality does not understand the purpose of the button labeled "Power".
