I remember the term, and back in the day you could get it without any EQ -- just a pair of the large Advents. :)

Advents were the epitome of the "east coast sound", I think. JBL epitomized the "west coast sound".
The JBL's of the day were far more evenly balanced than the Advents, to my ears anyway (I babysat a pair of JBL L100's for about 6 months, and was regularly punished with the sound of Advents in friend's systems).
I suppose it depended on the model - I remember that my piano teacher in the 60's had JBL's and was telling my father and me about how impressed he was by their "quick" sound. Not long after, my dad went out and bought a pair of JBL's himself. ;-)
"East", "West", "warm", "cool"- who gives a damn, really? Sound, like direction and temperature, is way more subjective than we'd care to admit.
