I, for one, would like to hear the Advents.....
I was thinking and RT55i/LSi9 or RT25i/LSi7 comparison.

I can bring one pair of working Advents, one pair of non working advents- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

A large Advent speaker circa 1979 would be the "New" Advent Loudspeaker and not the original Advent Loudspeaker. The "New" was introduced as having "improvements" over the originals.
Troy,
The Advents in Stephie's bedroom are the "New" models. A nice speaker, but different from the original.
George Grand (of the Jersey Grands) -
Which ones do I have George?

The ones nobody else wants. Okay I got that out of the way, sit back down Sid I was only kidding.
I thinks you have the "New" like my daughters. Kind of tough to see the detail in your images. If there is a kind of gray rubber strip between the outer edge of the grille and the cabinet, it's the "New". There is nothing written on the back by the input terminals? Take a look mon, they should be labeled "The "New" Advent Loudspeaker. If that's what you have it's a fine pair of loudspeakers.
For what it's worth, the original was called "The Advent Loudspeaker". Then came The "Smaller" Advent Loudspeaker, and then The "New" Advent Loudspeaker. No such animal as the Larger Advent Loudspeaker which is what some people call the original.
George Grand (of the Jersey Grands) -
Hey George,
Yeah they have the gray strip around the front between it and the grill...
However there is not on the back except terminals...
Thanks for the fast reply...- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Then you have the extremely rare and highly sought after "Unlabeled New Advent Loudspeaker". I made another funny!! They're the "New". Maybe the labeler guy called in sick that day.
George Grand (of the Jersey Grands) -
LOL - thank you sir...- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Gotcha re the Advents.....I have a hard time remembering all these details. I'm glad that I got George to keep me straight.
Wasn't there also an anniversary or something edition Advent about ten years ago as well??
Any Appelton's left, kind sir?

I'll do my damndest to get there, but with the house going up for sale, and all it entails, it will be a last minute decision I'm sure.
I know you guys are expecting me to sit at a folding table, and sign autographs, so I'll do my best. At the minimum, if Troy has a speaker phone, I'll be happy to phone in, and answer all your burning questions.
Cheers,

Man, and I just bought a case of Sharpies and a ton of 8x10 glossies.......
Man, you better come. I consulted the flavor or the month chart and I have to switch all my wiring to Kimber. I need help.

As long as you go get your hearing checked I see no problem with the switch...

25th Anniversary Edition Advents were about ten years ago.
I don't know the Appletons situation at your house. I never made it to the liquor cabinet. It inhibits my stamina AT CERTAIN JUNCTURES, but not all. No shortage of it in my liquor locker though. JStas brought over a tribute bottle last visit.

You sir, are obviously a man of impeccable tastes and wisdom beyond your years. The items you mention currently make up my 2 channel music system....and a very fine one at that....IMO. I will be happy to bring them.
That is certainly subject to interpretation, but I appreciate the comment lol I think that sounds like a fantastic setup.
The RT55i is perhaps the best bookshelf speaker Polk Audio has produced, from what I gather, and it would be cool to put my ear on them.
The Dayton Titanic also stirs interest, just because it is what it is. A PE offering with great performance, how can an individual not want to hear a catalog offering that actually kicks ****? I am motivated.
Thanks for opting to bring them Steve, I really look forward to hearing them and meeting you....did I say that in the right order?

I just went into my daughters room. I stand SOMEWHAT corrected. Hers are not labeled at the terminals as "New" either, but the cabinet front is completely different from yours, having all rounded corners, and the gray rubber strip also. I did not get them new, and the original cartons were not included, but the original owners manny was, and it is The New Advent Loudspeaker. It discusses the availability of yours in the utility cabinet but does not provide an image.
So you can haul yours down there (or up there), but if it's cumbersome, he can hear them next time he passes through Jersey.
George Grand (of the Jersey Grands) -
George....you have the NICE cabinets....
As I recall....It was about $75 more to get those cabs...which was a lot of $ for someone making $850 a month back in 79.
I guess it will be ok to haul it all down to Troys....I'll just need to convince my wife to let me use her SUV. I'll need to be carefull and not speed too much. I can see getting pulled over by a SC State Trooper and trying to explain that the reason I have a whole bunch of audio gear and golf clubs in the back is because I'm going to Charleston to drink beer, listen to music and play golf with a bunch of guys I've never met...

My DAUGHTER has the nice cabinets.
My first paycheck as a boom operator was in Sep '78. I CLEARED $55 for 4 days work from 11-14 Sep. Do the math. Nice fat paycheck for refueling airplanes at 450-500 mph huh? Almost $14 a day!
George Grand (of the Jersey Grands)
I've often thought about what you mentioned about a carload of audio. It's one of the things that prompted me to start keeping a log of every single thing I bought, how much I paid for it, exactly when and where I bought it. One of the other reasons was so I don't sell something for $40 when I paid $50 for it. -

Sorry,
We won't be having any Rel subs, Transparent wires, Danes, Kimber or B&K.
No HT, no receivers.
Unless you have a new found interest in Carver, SDA, vintage Polk and separates I can't see much of interest for you here.

I could bring my B&K 2 channel setup! nah...that would be to risky, gear could get messed up- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

SURE!!! No walls to hear the little mewling and whining. And the laws on bestiality are very relaxed around that area, also!;)
