Turn off the "Copy files to session" toggle near the lower right
corner of the import dialog. As long as they are at the same sample
rate as the session - no copying, Ardour will just use the original
files.

Alternatively, or additionally, change Ardour's default native disk
sample format to 16 bit (Options -> Audio File Format -> Sample Format
-> 16 bit).

Enjoy.
