    Hafler dh200 on stacked advents

    stacking 2 pairs of large advents in parallel on a pioneer sx-850 is probably not a good idea, but if you had a hafler dh200 running off the 850’s preamp out, could that handle it? https://www.kenrockwell.com/audio/hafler/dh-200.htm This spec sheet says: Stereo 4Ω 107 mV for 1 W output into...

    CORRECT Advent 5012 fiberglass stuffing mystery finally SOLVED

    I just bought a virgin pair of Advent 5012 speakers in walnut veneer. Other than an incorrect refoam they have never been tinkered with internally.

    Acoustic Suspension sound in 2020

    I really like the sound of the 1960's-1970's acoustic suspension speakers owning a pair of AR-11's.
