I remember back in 1974 or '75 there was an audio magazine that used to feature the "Installation Of The Month". My college roommate and I used to go to the newsstand to check out the new issue each month. I can't ever recall ever buying the magazine....we couldn't afford it.

I used to drool at the equipment in those installations. Now that I look back on some of the installations that I saw, the way the systems were set up was all bass-ackwards. Back then the people viewing the magazines nor the editors of the magazines didn't know any better. The way the systems were set up in those magazines have no resemblance to the way systems are set up today.

Does anyone remember that magazine?

I remember....some of the set ups used cinder blocks as spacers. Lots of brown shag carpeting.

I'm pretty sure it was Stereo Review. Or maybe Hi Fidelity. I looked at those features every month and those were the mags I was reading then. I also had cinder blocks. Shag carpeting. Egg crates on the wall. Phillips tweeters hanging on a nail above my KLH's. Sublime.

Well, I'm the baby so far on this thread(47). But I'm pretty sure it was Audio Visual. The days, had a JVC receiver driving stacked Advents. Funny thing is as good as it seemed to be, just like the present,I always lusted for a Carver system with Polks which I eventually ended up with but boy those advents could jam!

I remember this! I think it was stereo review too! Those were the days of my first REAL system of Advents, Yamaha 6x6 receiver and Dual 510 with a Shure M95ed -I enjoyed this system for 15 years. Great memories!

And yes I had those Advents up on cinderblocks. Also had to go buy a piece of wood and brackets for a tt shelf so the stylus wouldn't jump out of the groove. Remember very clearly playing Supertramp - that song with the birds chirping - my cat went flying to the window to find those birds and I knew my system was something special indeed.
