Compare Large Advent?

I had 2 of the small Advents and wound up giving them away,. Still have 4 of the large walnut Advents from 1976 and 2 of the Advent Prodigy towers I bought a few years later, but they all need to be re-coned. Powered them with a Yamaha Surround Sound A-1000 ..incredible speakers..

I had a pair of the large Advents 40+ years ago and for the money, they were unbeatable in my opinion.

I'd be willing to bet they'd still be able to hold their own today with much pricier speakers.

They do. No doubt....

I too had a pair of large Advent, loved them until I auditioned some
Klipsch Cornwalls. Then there was no real reason to keep the Advents sold them to a buddy,

I bought my pair from the Sally Ann store over ten years now for 10 bucks. Nice solid wood.
I had the woofers redone. I remember the service guy told me that dont under estimate these .
So since that time I bought some Alphas I had an old pair of cheaper Regas.
 I bought a pair of Mordant Shorts 908is
And yestarday i bought a pair of Paradigms 20v2s.
 And still the Advents just have more clarity and sound stage.
I run it all with a yamaha rs 700 stereo reciever.
 So my conclusion is were never satified with sound. For us its like chasing the carrot.
Next up the trangle elara ( they always sound good in the store.)
