Still, I bet those stacked Advents sounded pretty good!
They did crank in my small bedroom. My brother would comment as to how the medicine cabinet in the bathroom between our rooms would buzz when I played some bass heavy content from EL&P, Rick Wakeman and yes Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra. The Advent brochure specifically mentioned how well the Mehta performance did with first octave bass. :)
As the resident audio geek in high school, I was asked to provide the sound system for playing music at the 1974 Miss RHS pageant. By 1974, I had upgraded parts of the system. Now used a Technics SL-110a table/SME 3009 arm/Ortofon M15, H-K Citation 11/Crown D-150 driving double Advents with the Microstatic tweeters. Since we needed more horizontal dispersion, the speakers were deployed side-by-side.
