Vintage speakers from the 70's and 80's

A good friend owns ADS tower loudspeakers that he purchased sometime in the late 80s. He was a very discerning audio purchaser.

The ADS speakers sound phenomenal. I remember attending a party at his home about seven or eight years ago. We were sitting on his patio, and he was playing a mix of songs for the party. At one point an acoustic piano track was playing. From outside the house, about 100 feet away, it sounded like a real piano playing in the house. It's what inspired me to upgrade my system, and frankly, I don't think I've yet hit the target of his relatively modest, but carefully assembled ADS/NAD system.

Sonab made a smallish, cube-shaped speaker (OD-11?) that was quite nice

Yamaha NS1000's or Gale.

Get thee to a Snellery!

Seriously, I am VERY impressed with the Snell Type C/i I have recently refoamed. With good electronics driving them, they are excellent - great across the spectrum!

Sonab, yeah! haven't heard those in a while.. fooled around with a pair for a bit...
ALSO: Epicure model 20 or the very rare (now) Epicure model 3 from circa 1979...
ALSO: Allison model one
ditto stacked advents, ADS 810
Instead of JBL L-100's, JBL L-166 Horizon or L-112 is better speaker, same design...
