  1. Don't know exactly where to put this little gem. Don't think it is worth a new topic. Have been so pleased with my advents since I built the bsc, wouldn't be inclined to exhange them for anything. Of course, they are and remain (until now) the unheralded bargain of the 21st century. But their auction prices have been creeping upward. See the recent A-4 result on Ebay. Item number:300254526569. Granted that the presentation was way above average, so too was the result. At first blush, the sale price of $617.67 plus shipping seems extreme. But in truth, I guess the adjusted new price of a new pair in 1978 would be around $800. Pretty interesting. Once again, thanks Pete for all your good work! Marty
  2. I have to agree. The Advents sound as fine as any speaker I have heard or owned. I am in the process of selling some of the pre advent equipment that I have acquired. I hooked up my old pair of celestion SL6si's prior to check them out prior to their sale. They are truly marvelous speakers, but lack the full range of the advents. I don't think I would want to go back. Thanks again Pete for your really fine work and making it available to us. Sincerely, Marty
  3. Pete, The presence of a single pair of BSC equiped speakers rivals the unattenuated presence of the previous four. Finally got the speakers positioned about 12 inches off the floor. Overall, the sound is magic. The definition of the various instruments and voices is better with the BSC than without. I am amused by how good it sounds. Thanks again for your help and offer of the loaner. Regards, Marty
  4. Pete, Got the parts last night. Assembled the BSC this AM. It works. I like it. Many thanks, Marty
  5. Thanks for you help and input. I am using two pair of large advents, but would like to switch to a single pair. (By the way, one pair is of original vintage and the other is of nla vintage. They seem to work pretty well together. I think I prefer the older speakers to the newer versions, but on balance, either pair sound pretty good.) I believe the baffle loss you have so aptly described is one of the major gains derived from using these speakers in pairs; it doubles the baffle area. And the smoothing of the midrange is described in the absolute sound dual advent test. I have utility models and have been watching for a pair of the prettier veneers. My thinking is that a single pair with the compensation module should be just the trick. I am using a very basic NAD 320 integrated amp which is more than adequate given the modest size of our living room. I must say that the speakers make the music very enjoyable. Thanks again, marty
  6. Am interested in building and trying your device. One question - will it have any adverse effects on the electronics of the preamp or amplifier? Thanks, Marty
