amplifier for large advents?

My pair work nicely with a Rega Mira3. Also great with my Eagle 4.
You can take the Advents up a few notches by replacing internal wiring, connectors, crossover cap, etc. I have improved the already great bass with 4 front to back 1" maple crossbraces and changing out fiberglass insulation. enjoy.
P.S. Cardas Golden Cross speaker cables work great.. at 4 times the cost of the speaker lol!! Got 2 sets of Advents to play with, paid I think 150 or 200 for each pair.

For sound more towards the warmer tube side of things, there was a pair of TAD Hibachi 125 monoblocks up for sale here the other day. I used to sell the Advents and have a pair of these and would like to hear them together.

For pure performance, a pair of 100 w/ch or so Class D amps would be another interesting choice. D-sonic might be a good place to look.

FWIW I still have my pair of OHM Ls (refurbed) that I bought back in the 70's when I sold both these and the Advents. OHM L was designed to have Advent sound in a smaller box and still have decent efficiency. These sound really good off my 500w/ch CLas D Bel Canto ref1000m monoblocks that I use to run these and other more demanding speakers, but are probably overkill for older Advents alone.

Mr_hosehead - thanks for the ideas. I had forgotten about Hafler. Those were pretty good in their day. I also forgot until you mentioned it that I have a pair of B&K mono amps in the attic. I'll try them first.

Xiekitchen - I was thinking the same thing. Have you replaced the connectors? What did you use? Does anyone do a crossover upgrade/rebuild service? Did you put the braces on the inside or outside?

The Harman Kardon receivers from the early '70s sounded great with large Advents then and still do. With dual power supplies and lots of point-to-point wiring, they have a muscular, tubey sound. A friend powers his large Advents with the H/K 430, and I use the same model with ADS L1290II in a secondary system. Only rated at 30 watts but it plays bigger, and is considered the most reliable of the x30 series at this point.

The amps one already have sitting in the attic are definitely the right ones to try! :^)
