Advents were very popular in college. My first speakers were Polk Audio 7 that sat on a stand like a Heresy. Also had a Sony V fet amp which i blew up and got scolded by the dealer. Used a Pioneer turntable. Also remember my audio dealer had a pair of Magnaplaner Timpani 3 driven by Big Audio Research tube amp. Still remember that sound.
Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents?
It was actually my second "real" system...but it is simply historic how many people that love great audio systems and the music they allowed us to enjoy started or at one time owned the original Large Advents. If there is to be a list of the most influential audio products of all time, the Large Advent would be at or near the top. I guess another interesting question would be how many sets of these Large Advents are still in use. My brother in law and my sister still have a set of Small Advents in use in their den.
