...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.
