windows into the  creative vision and how faithfully it is brought to an audience.

"As if from out of nowhere, AAD has waltzed into my home and stolen
my heart with the Reference 7001s"

"The AAD 7001s have been created for the well-heeled music lover,
but they’re the finest loudspeakers I have heard in my home.
Considering the sound quality and Rolls-Royce-standard build and
styling, I’d consider them an investment worth making."

TONE Magazine - October 2007 by Gary Pearce




"The AAD $12,500 7001i is a top-of-class small high-end speaker that
speaks with accurate finesse, detail and can put out a surprising
amount of low bass for such  small bass drivers."

"Listening to what is possible without price constraints."

Enjoy The Music - December 2007 by John Gatski





"Every once in a while, you encounter a very special product that
leaves little room for doubt as to its potential. The AAD 7001 is one of
those pieces of gear, especially where critical listening, mixing and
non-fatiguing mastering sessions are required."

certainly didn't miss the low-bass range much, given how clean and
uncolored were the mid- and upper bass, and the overall delicacy of
the speaker's treble was a continuing delight. Its stereo imaging, too, is
simply superb, and it reproduces the human voice in a lovingly natural,
sympathetic manner."
