Another fun thread renewed!
Always wanted a pair since the late ‘70s.
Didn’t end up with an Original Large Advent pair until about 8 years ago. Still love what they do! Musical as all get out. Worked really well on my lowboy 9” angled ADS L810 stands driven by a Sony TA-A1ES & matching HAP-Z1ES as an office system, usually streaming Radio Paradise 🎶
My pair responded well to an Audience capacitor & wire upgrade. OLA’s definitely sound their best with the grill baffles installed to prevent midrange suckout from their raised tweeter. Removing the 2 layers of fabric and rattle-can painting the grill boards a satin black was a nice sonic improvement too.
Have a matching second pair with the good factory x-over inductors along with a matching set of upgrade parts for yet another elusive project - Double Stack system . . .
