They're right over there next to the 400 watt SET amps. ☺️

Several quick observations: 1) power required to drive a speaker with a sensitivity of 85dB/W/m 2) no clear measurement of the actual sound level that was being produced in the room 3) largely...

Again, many thanks, Jim. It's probably very difficult to teach that "reference sound" when you arrive at someone's sub-optimal system. I can only imagine how challenging your work must be.

Thanks, Jim. In 2017 is there a "top 10" list of tracks that you consider really involving or revealing of key attributes of a system? That info may be the secret sauce of your work. If so, no...

Tip #202 in Get Better Sound is a list of music suggested for tuning/voicing an audio system. My (possibly flawed) searches in these forums has not found a reference to any sort of playlist that has...

Elsewhere within Audioshark I explained my return to the audio hobby with a pair of large Advent speakers and an Advent 300 receiver. From that beginning, I'm going to start swapping components until...

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for reminding me what all of this is all about. I've had and/or listened to some systems of moderate cost that were incredibly involving. I've also seen/heard $100K+...

Yes. At one time I had 3 pairs of the Large Advents and two of the receivers. I drove the stack with one receiver and the original Adcom 400 cube amp for a time as well as with a McIntosh amp & pre....

My daughters(3) haven't seen or heard any system that is more important than the decor in their homes. Their husbands have man caves! :dunno:

Thanks very much. What a great album find. And, yes, college years with Advent...too many years ago!

After years away from audio as a serious hobby, I'm bringing an Advent 300 receiver and Large Advent speakers back on line. The speakers & receiver are getting some attention from experts with each....

Though I've had many "high-end" systems, I've been out of audio in any meaningful way for 20 years. Rather than throw 10-20K at a new system, I'm acting as a beginner again. Getting these vintage...

I'm too new to be able to post links, but davidreaton.com should get you all the info you'll need.

Mine was working when I powered it up a couple of nights ago, but I know the caps need replacing and probably a 55-gallon drum of Deoxit will be needed for those slide switches. I'll post a photo or...

Thanks, Joe. I'm looking forward to getting acquainted with the folks and the ways of the Audioshark. Through many years my systems ran the range from the Advent gear up through the KEF, B&W,...

Jim Smith (Get Better Sound) suggested I check in here. A 1975 pair of Large Advents is getting refoamed & Dave Eaton is restoring my Advent 300 receiver. I'm returning to the hobby after years away....
