RE: Okay, a serious, non-obtuse, Stereophile (the clue) review thread

Since I am old, it seems to me that some of the most loved speakers from AR, Advent, KLH, and others were not smallish, but had 8", 10" and 12" woofers and still considered "bookshelf" speakers, yet these designs are now nowhere to be found with small $1500 to $2000 2-ways with 5", 6" or 7" bass(?) drivers. It just seems hard for me to believe that someone cannot make a decent 2 way system with a 10" woofer any more that sound as good as my old Large Advents I use every day in one system. I still regret selling my first real speakers, the Dynaco A-25's.

I often marvel at the DeVore's that Art Dudley uses with huge cabinets and front baffles with a 10" bass driver that he loves. I will never give up my 3-way AR-58's (12" bass driver), the last version of the old AR-3a, or my Advents. They are just musical.
