Mebbe, but that '70's system I had sounded awfully good. The larger Advents were the cream of Henry's crop if it's great sound per dollar you're considering. That would be a fun show to run, comparing today's good, (relatively) inexpensive gear with '70's fare. I don't want to sentimentalize the past but that old system of mine had something going on.
