Vintage Advents too big for small room?
Ritualistic audio hoohah? Maybe I need some of that. :-)Rockvirgo: Getting the Advents up on just any old platform, at least for experimental purposes, is a great idea. I don't have any shelves or dressers in this room, so the Advents or any other...

VTF Scale
