I've heard some pretty high performance speakers in the past (celestion, jbl L100, B&W, Infinity, Altec, AR, Cerwin vega) but none are better, for any reasonable amount of cash, than double advents for my type of music (jazz/pop). btw, thanks again george, your advents are working great. found two pairs on ebay, re-foamed and re-varnished by the seller. found a pair of decent looking, refoamed utility cabs in the local used market. I was amazed at the performance of the refoamed speakers.clarity, naturalness, detail, imaging, power handling.and these were bookshelf speakers! did due diligence and decided to look for Large Advents. ordered a refoam kit from 'simply speakers'.great guys. it played badly at first, turned out the surrounds were almost completely gone. i bought my first advent speaker by accident.i thought i won (on ebay for $30) an AR (acoustic research).
