It was the fall of 1971 I was a junior in HS and I used every dollar I made bussing tables at a restaurant down the shore over the summer to buy a system package from a chain outfit called Tech Hifi in Bryn Mawr Pa. The package consisted of a Dual 1219 turntable, a Harman Kardon 610 receiver and a pair of Large Advents. The whole thing retailed for around $600. I hooked it up in my bedroom and listened to Tumbleweed Connection. Pure bliss. It was the moment that I became an audiophile. I never looked back. While my current rig blows that little system away I still have a great deal of fondness for it. I attribute that to the Advents.
What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
Not the most expensive, not the best reviewed, not the biggest, but the most FUN. You know, that ONE that just makes you throw on some more music and keep listening, the one that makes your toes tap, your head bob, your ass move the most. The one that makes you think to yourself "damn, why doesn't everyone have a pair of these?" Let 'er rip.
