a/d/s CM6

[KeithL]

Is anyone familiar with the a/d/s CM6 speakers?
I bought a pair from CL a few months ago but can't seem to find any details on them.
They sound great! Just wanted to see if anyone had any specs for them.

Thanks
Keith

I'm guessing that the specs are close to the L400e. Impedance may be different.

I dug around in the archives and didn't turn up anything specific... the CM6 does use the same polymer dome tweeter as the L400e but in a very inert synthetic cabinet. Not sure the woofer tuning is the same but a/d/s/ voiced speakers very consistently so it's a safe bet they are similar to other 6'5" 2-way models from that era.

Fabulous little speakers, they do tend to be cosmetically challenged because of the painted finish and typically fragile grilles. I bought a slightly beat-up pair and resold them last year but probably should have kept them around for use on the bench or other utility role.

Thanks for the responses. It looks like the great mystery continues.

The pair I have are in great shape. Mids and highs are fantastic, but lacks the low end for me.

Anyone else have these? I'm looking at buying a pair...

This speaker series led to the demise of ADS as force in the US speaker business. They were great sounding speakers but vitually unsellable in the late 80s. Now we can see they were a glipse into the future but to us dealers back in the day, they just ate up inventory dollars.

I'm looking at buying a pair of excellent condition CM6 for $109, and am going to listen to them tomorrow. Curious to see how they sound. I have my eye on a pair of Fisher 3-ways (SM-333) for $50.
