An Advent Guy


Last weekend I hooked up a pair of my Large Advents just to remind myself that before I became a wannabe audiophile, I was just an Advent guy. I guess I still am. Any golden oldie still knock you out (for no particular reason)?

I recently retrieved my New Large Advents from my parents' house that I bought new in '77 for my first decent system. I hooked them up and they sounded suprisingly good. One of the dpdt switches for the tweeter smoothing didn't work in two positions. As luck would have it, it only worked in the "extended" position.

I opened them up and decided to rebuild the crossovers. Not much to them really - a couple of caps, resister, inductor. Bought the parts from Parts Express and they arrived today. I'm looking forward to the hearing how they sound. But from what I heard the other day, wow, certainly a speaker that costs 10 times as much is not 10 times better.
