...experienced listener and as one who stacked more than his share of advent and advent utilities in his day, it actually did sound pretty good. for some reason the pairing helped overcome the advent's inherent boxy sound. considering one could buy these things for $100 each in those days, for $400, you got a pretty impressive looking (important to twentysomethings) and not half bad sound speaker system.
just to show you how out of control one could get, I actually tried using four pairs of advent utitlities driven with bridged nad 3020's. let me you, when that helicopter landed in pink floyd's "the wall", even the neighbors were impressed.
of course, this kind of thing should never be attempted by anyone with any sense and ymmv.
