I figured i could replace the drivers and have some nice classic looking speakers. Spotted this pair of Legacy 2's in great condition in a thrift store. You won't be disappointed with the Advent /1's. When I desire a more intimate listening experience closer to my set up, all the detail and musicality I remember as a music student, with musicians back in the music room, is there as well.I would trust your ears as part of an overall listening experience with a variety of music in choosing a speaker. The main floor of my house is filled with wonderful music that never gets fatiguing. These speakers don't flinch with hard rock, classical or jazz.'Blood, Sweat and Tears' vocals and their musicality played remarkably.Ĭlarity, warmth, power and bass to boot were back. WOW.the wonderful sound quality that I remembered was back. of 80 wpc.I'm using 120 wpc) I set them up on low speaker stands. Now back to my Advent /1's.Insuring that I incorporate some decent wattage to do justice to their design ( I recommend a min. What wonderful sound came from those records we played. His speakers (not sure of the model, from late 60's-ish) were placed on hay bails.any WOW.

Recalling my first 'real' experience listening to music (from sources other than a transistor radio) brings back fond memories as teen with my uncle at my grandparents' farm. As an audio enthusiast and previous music student, I've owned several speakers over the years (including Dynaco A25's) and I must say these are truly my favourite. These would be the slightly smaller version of the New Large Advent speaker from about 1979. My review is for my Advent/1 speakers recently purchased ( having read many great reviews from a variety of Advent owners ) for my music system.
