| Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist? In the lexicon of the old South, If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy. | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Professional buyer of used audio equipment due to congenital condition that got out of control. | |
| Is This A Bad Move? I'll definitely give the OC703 acoustic paneling a shot. | |
| Is This A Bad Move? Thanks for the suggestion, mijostyn….I'm using the bookshelves because I just picked up the Advents a month ago or so and don't want to ditch the ADS L-810s. I won't play them together, just one pair at a time. The units are handmade, not knockdow... | |
| Is This A Bad Move? Thanks for the constructive response millercarbon….the bookcases have a framing/molding that is exactly 26" wide, then the actual shelf area opens up to about 28" wide. Both sets of speakers are a shade under 26" wide, which will leave about an in... | |
| No Sub-Mojo That makes sense...I'll give it a shot. Thanks! | |
| No Sub-Mojo Dweller, I think you were correct in your earlier post about the switch to select normal/separated.....to activate the outputs, the switch has to be set to 'separate', but that's where the caveat from my tech kicks in; it will also disable the amp... | |
| No Sub-Mojo Good question....I am using an M&K MX-125, which has very limited controls, but is a great sub for music. I have somewhere around 12-13 subs, but none feature remote control. | |
| No Sub-Mojo I was wrong in stating there is no switch for normal/separate operation on the amp. When I hooked the sub up, I left the switch in the 'normal' position. | |
| No Sub-Mojo There is no switch on the E-202 and the manual is of no help because subwoofers didn't exist at the time. The manual does address using a separate amp (which I realize the subwoofer actually is in this case), but the signal did not appear to be go... | |
| What Have I Bought? From everything I've seen/learned so far, I think you are correct, Lone Rider. The beveled-edge front version was the first iteration of the Large Advents, the bullnose edition came later, from what I've been able to glean. I did not realize the m... | |
| What Have I Bought? Thanks for all the responses and suggestions on the Large Advents. Iregret waiting so long to pick up a pair, but thought anything priced so cheaply originally couldn't be anything special. We owe a debt of gratitude to the pioneers of audio who h... | |
| What Have I Bought? Damn you, tubegb! Went to flea-bay and found a respectable-looking 300 receiver at a very reasonable price (but made a lower offer since they charge tax now). I couldn't resist since this looks like a really cool piece of audio history, and is pac... | |
| What Have I Bought? Thanks for the responses....the model of the speakers may not be rare, but their condition certainly is. You guys really know your stuff and your shared knowledge is appreciated. Hard to believe, but I haven't even bothered to check out the driver... | |
| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... I use an Accuphase T-100, a Sansui TU-9900, and a Sansui TU-717. All are really enjoyable to listen to, but I like the 9900 best, there's just something about its sound (once it gets warmed up well) that makes it stand out. I'd like to be able to ... |
