...and liked them a lot.
I also had the L1230, my personal favorite ADS.
I never had the 810. Perhaps that's attraction.
The shop I worked for at the time didn't sell anything nearly as exotic as the Dahlquist or the Magnepan.
Allison was the only non-rectangular box line we sold. I had a pair of Threes. Fond memories there.
Now that I think of it, we also had the Tannoy "Cheviot", which was a bit unusual at the time, but still just a big box.

Funny but I had the 610 and 810 but no 710.
Missed it by THAT much!

I *think* the models from that era are ...
200
300
400 (First large, then small. The larger version morphed into the 420)
420
520
620
700
710
730
810
910
1230
1530
2030
Later came the 570, 780, 690, 880, 990, 1090, 1290, 1590...
...and others I'm sure to have forgotten.
A pair of 910's with original stands. Someday.

I feel the same way about my first Threshold Stasis amp, but if you're looking for better sound, a DQ-10 is superior to the ADS family in terms of eliminating the "box" and providing a more open sounding result.
And still be a 70s classic. :)
I'm a fan of the DQ-10.A few problems.
Too wide for my room.
Roughly twice the cost of the 810.
I need to own the 810 and get it out of my system (mental system, not audio system).
Truth is, I'm nuts for my current speakers (Platinum Audio Studio One).
They will be tough to replace, so will be held on to while I experiment with others.
