Yes, I sold Advents as well in the early '70s. I think one of our most popular systems was a pair of Larger Advents (vinyl finish), Sansui 2000(A) or 4000 receiver, depending on your budget, and a Dual turntable, maybe a CS-1209, and make that a Shure M91E thrown in for free.
I also remember the Advent 200 but even better was the 201 cassette deck. I could play Advent's own real time produced Dolby B commercial cassette tapes. Wow and flutter, always the buggaboo with cassettes, was finally acceptable as it was the lowest available. I could astound people and even myself by playing the Solti Mahler 5th, licensed from London records and freak people out with the bass drum. The CD actually still sounds pretty decent. I have it mainly to remind me of those halcyon times.
Regarding warranty, I recall the Advents having a 5 year parts and labor warranty and they honored it, big time, no questions asked. Maybe that's why they came out with the powdered, err, powered Advents.
I bought my first KLH product in 1966 in New York City while on tour with an opera company and it kept me company through many a night on the road that year, a Model 21 table model FM only mono radio. It took up plenty of space in my Samsonite suitcase but I didn't mind even one pound. I still have it here on my desk and it plays like a dream, which, of course, it sort of is. I had to have the power cord replaced sometime in the '70s!. My dad owned a pair of KLH 6s I believe. I think I owned a pair of AR-4s, the smallest of the AR line, as used speakers, but by that time technology had moved on.
Henry Kloss was one of a kind. R.I.P.
