a/d/s and Diamond Audio
I have a C5 and am looking to do 6.5 components in the doors and 5.25's in the rear. I was wondering who out there has had experience with Diamond Audio and a/d/s. Any feedback would be great

Diamond stuff is very nice .. in all my installs and listening I have never heard A/D/S speakers myself.
I personally did not care for the mid in the Diamond as it was a bit colorized IMO and did not play as low as I liked .. but I am also a pretty big fan of Focal Polykevlar (you all are shocked by that statement I know) so I may be a bit biased. I have run their top of the line (at the time) hex line and was not as happy as I could have been.
Their D9 speakers have gotten very good reviews but are spendy ($1k or so for a 7" and tweet)

ADS (along with MB Quart) ruled the 90's in SQ competions. I believe the ADS model was 521 
ADS also made great 50 watt rms amps, 2 channel up to an 8 channel 
For some reason ADS is no longer mainstream, they were expensive so that might have been the killer.
I agree with Fej, Focals are a hell of a speaker too worth looking at.
