Looking at the crossover design, you find that the 6.5" midrange is run to 5 kHz - waaayyy beyond its comfort zone like old JBLs.
You can count on the directivity at the top of the midrange driver's range to be shrunken (2.7" wavelength via 5.5" piston). You're likely to find "funhouse mirror" soundstaging with the transition to dome tweeter going from severely clamped down to wide open.
The ADS does not share that fundamental fault. It's 2.5" dome midrange crosses over to the tweeter at 4 kHz if memory serves. As one who highly values coherency, I'd most likely find the "Digital Audio Speaker" to sound weird.
Follow Ups:
The Speaker Lab designs seems to be a clear example of that period. That 80's early techno sound that always seemed to have a strange "clank" to their sound. I've heard a number of early 80's speakers and they all had a classic over the top (past the comfort zone of the midrange) beamy harsh midrange and top end. I think that was where the synthesizers "special effects" sat.
If there was one decade I DON'T miss, it was the 80's!!!!!
