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)?

my wife once refered to the look and sound of the large advents as 'handsome'.....an adjective she never used again in her three decades on my hifi merry-go-round.
the variety and scope of selling 'two drivers in a box' is unending. sometimes 'getting back to where you once belonged' helps to put the insanity in check. the last time i was in london i heard a very infamous 2 way (oversized bookshelf) type speaker selling for 7 thousand pounds....was it cool?...oh yeah...was it in a different league than my old buddy, the large advent?... not at all.....the cabinets were 'beautiful', but a weekend with the advents reminded me that the '20 year old me' wouldn't have spent 20 seconds pondering the worth of a 7k pair of anything.
