Best sounding, and IMO, nicest looking.
Large Walnut Advents - depending on the time frame - were about $116.
The three way 5's back then were about $175, well below the price of AR3As at about $250.
We sold all three in the shop I managed, although AR-3As rarely sold by that time. The Advent was the runaway best seller, selling far more than what might be expected from the price differential with the KLH-5.
I think we got in a rut and sold Advents to anyone who came in the door, unless we could interest them in KLH-9s or big Bozaks (if staying with New England speakers).
Best regards,
Jim Smith
