My first loudspeakers were Realistic Nova 7’s from Radio Shack. Within a few years, I was able to replace them with walnut large Advents. That was definitely an improvement, though it seemed that the Advents didn’t have some of the highs (or was it brightness?) of some of my friends’ speakers. I played them via a Pioneer SX-626, which only put out about 27 wpc, which wasn’t bad in my bedroom. When I moved to an apt., I took them with me and they got stolen along with the rest of my equipment.
Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents?
It was actually my second "real" system...but it is simply historic how many people that love great audio systems and the music they allowed us to enjoy started or at one time owned the original Large Advents. If there is to be a list of the most influential audio products of all time, the Large Advent would be at or near the top. I guess another interesting question would be how many sets of these Large Advents are still in use. My brother in law and my sister still have a set of Small Advents in use in their den.
