[ADS L1590]

... who actually did the design work at ADS on the L1590, L1290 and L1090 series (and other variants) that were introduced in the mid-1980s? These speakers, even to this day, are excellent designs and among the better products ever designed by ADS.

i could be completely off but i thought it was Mike Kelly ....

[ADS L1590]

I remember hearing various ADS systems at an audio shop called "Sound Company" in the city where I live. This was around 1979. The impression I still have was that the system had a unique clarity and smoothness that the other offerings were seriously lacking. I think it may have been the model 610. What happened to ADS? I know they are still around as a corporate entity but they seem to be largely peddling auto sound related products. Did they go down the same path as AR, Advent and so on being bought up by companies that sell video tape head cleaners and such?

pretty much. Mike Kelly was one of the key people responsible for that ADS sound of the 70's, he started and runs Aerial Acoustics which is responsible for some of the finest sounding speakers made on the planet today.

btw, i'll bet those were the L810's you were listening to.
