My nearest hi fi dealer is 600 miles away.
So no, won't be hearing this soon. A pity, I loved ADS and have always been curious about this brand.

I have loved this brand and had owned a pair of the model 6 which I really enjoyed. However, where I felt the brand was a high value product in it's previous models, each replacement model is double the price of the old. As such, I don't know anymore. I guess $4,000 monitors are the norm now, but that does not mean I have to like it or buy it. Pardon my rant.

This has been an underrated/undervalued brand for some time, starting with the underpriced 10T. I would not assume they are overvalued, if compared sonically with the competition.
I was a big A/D/S fan (L810s for about 20 years) and after some detours ended up with Aerial Model 9s, which sound great. These are not whiz-bang speakers where you have a "wow" moment when you first hear them but they do dynamics, they do bass, they have a tonally rich midrange and generally smooth, extended high frequencies. The Model 9s pass along whatever upstream improvements (or mistakes) I have made over the years.
I feel the same way about PMC. Prices have almost doubled - it's crazy.

Is it parts/materials inflation or just higher profits? I guess we look to new value brands such as golden ear now. Try to resell used a high dollar speaker or worse yet, a high dollar large speaker. Not pretty.
