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.

It was between the Advents and the JBLs. The Advents did sound very good, but were power hogs. JBLs played a lot louder and being in band hearing live horns - real horns, trumpet, trombone, not Klipschorns!- blasting all day and being a teenager loud was what I wanted. 

Also even back then I was into scrutinizing every little detail. JBL had really nice dust cover fasteners, and looked as good behind as with the covers on. Advents looked like some kids science project. Which now I know shows they put it all into the sound. Oh well. Live and learn. JBL went on sale. I could afford them. The rest is history.
