...perhaps.
I discovered TAS in 1977 with issue #6 or #7.
I had never heard of either Marantz or Advent.
That issue rated stacked Advents along with KLH 9s as the best.
I owned a system I had purchased in 1973 at Pacific Stereo in Long Beach, CA (the only stereo store I knew about) consisting of a Kenwood receiver, Infinity speakers (I had seen the brand favorably reviewed in Stereo Review in 1972 back when Julian gave letter grades) and a Dual record changer.
I was looking for new speakers when I heard a pair of Dahlquists at a Federated Store and was blown away.
Then I ordered TAS back issues and discovered Saul Marantz helped Jon Dahlquist build his speaker and HP helped them do the final tuning in his listening room.

Ah, that at least partially explains your lack of knowledge.
I'm guessing that you still haven't opened "Music, Physics and Engineering", nor "Why You Hear What You Hear", nor "Acoustical Designing in Architecture", nor "Music, Acoustics and Architecture", nor "Master Handbook of Acoustics", nor "Loudspeaker Design Cookbook". Am I right?

...when I retire and decide to build loudspeakers, I'll ask you for your reading list.
Have you read Harley's "Guide to High End Audio" yet?
I thought not.
Sounds like you weren't trying. Marantz had been around for a quarter century and Advent for a decade by 1977.
Saul was making headlines with Marantz in the 50's. Not sure when Advent started, but I remember seeing/hearing/lusting after the large Advent in a Lafayette Radio shop around 1970 with my dad.
