Compare Large Advent?


I was wondering how the timeless Large Advent compare to some of the modern speakers?
I looked to find the sensitivity for these speakers but could not find the spec,anyone know what it is?

Well, we have all been lucky to be into the Audio hobby in the first place.  Just think, the majority of people out there are listening to music with the sonic quality of a boom box.  

An old Advent receiver, a pair of large advents and a good cd source will sound better than what the very vast majority of people are using to listen to music.....

Hi All,

I have the old Large Advents hooked up again, this time with a Coda CSI amp, and this setup sounds better than with the W4S ST1000.

The Advents sound good. Mellow with no harsh treble. Soundstage is there and there is texture to the sound. Certainly they are not my Thiel CS5's but it is pretty easy to quit listening to the speakers and just enjoy the music.

Thanks for listening,

Hi All,

Okay, can we please discuss the Large Advents a bit more?

I am in the market for a set of stand mounts for a second system, which is the reason for this post. (Main system is PWT, EVO B4B, Don Sachs DS2 pre, DNA-500 and Theil CS5i's).

Right now I am listening to one pair of Large Advents with a CJ LP66S tube amp, McCormack RLD1 preamp, and a 12 year old Azur 640 CD player. Does not sound bad at all. Seriously.

I like the bass I am hearing from the Avents. Based on reading a lot of reviews, I seem to be zeroing in on Fritz speakers or Tyler Acoustics. I am not sure which Fritz model, maybe the Carbon 7SE Mk2, and Tyler advised he can build the Taylos or Linbrook Sigs. 

 So, the question. Any opinions on how the "house sound" of Fritz and Tyler Acoustics compares to the Large Advents?

Thanks for listening,

Dsper
