AudiogoN Forums: An Advent Guy

An Advent Guy

Last weekend I hooked up a pair of my Large Advents just to remind myself that before I became a wannabe audiophile, I was just an Advent guy. I guess I still am. Any golden oldie still knock you out (for no particular reason)?

I concur Jaybo. In the early 70's I really liked the Advents. They were very good at what they did. (putting a system together was much easier then)

The advents, then hearing the Quad ESL-57's was what got me interested in 'audio'.
