I have had them for about 5 years and I am generally very happy with them. They were cheap (I bought them as demos) and they have never had any problems with drivers blowing. They are very sensitive to room acoutics (as are all speakers) and I have had to play with the high and mid cut switches on them as I've moved from one place to the next. I recently took them to a party at which they were blasted for 5 hours by small amps (probably clipping a fair percentage of the time) with no apparent damage. SR this month has some nice things to say about the new next-to-top-of-the-line ADS speaker (1290?). You might check the whole new ADS line out before deciding on ARs. My folks recently bought a pair of AR48s. They sound OK though the high end (they have a cone midrange) leaves something to be desired.
