Speaker help please

Glad you got something that sounds great to you. Interested in your comments of the Advent stack vs. the Advent/Synergistics stack and of course pics of the latter combo.
 
It has been a long time coming. I wanted to use the HK with the TV, but can't find proper audio outs to hook it up with. I guess I'll just have to wait.

It's common to go from the tv headphone jack if your tv has one to the receiver tape input. $5 Walmart today right away.
You're talking about the 330 right?
 
Well, all went well for one day, then the amplifier (NAD) makes no more noize. Took it into a shop today for a check and fix. Soon, I should have a functioning on all cylinders amp and plenty of decibels to grace my old ears. They were glorious and I can't wait to get them going again. Currently using a Sony. Not good. Not like the NAD.

NAD generally sounds good and this one has twice the power of the HK. I'd probably use it and power the two pair of Advents, stacked, top inverted, jumpered + to + and - to - providing a 4Ω load to the amp. Put this stack on a ~10" stand and enjoy a true high quality sounding speaker system while you sell off the rest and look for a nice bigger amp if you need that extra volume. I'd use the 330B and the S32s in a separate system. If it has to be the same room, maybe even run a tape out from one unit to the tape in on the other and play em all at the same time to see what mixing and matching can do.

But that stacked advent choice stands out as the go to system with your list of gear.

+1 on the double Advents!
 
Rebuilding a couple of large Advents now. Need to refoam both bass drivers. Currently have the Synergistics on top of the Advents (similar build etc) with both tweeters in the center of the pile. Damn those things sound great. I have added a NAD 2700 power amp and am now using the NAD 7140 as a preamp. Talk about kick-ass. There are sounds on recordings I had never heard before. Those sounds are supposed to be there, in case one wanted to question that. These make a great pairing and I am looking forward to replacing the Synergistics with the refoamed Advents.

I have become an advocate for those stacked speakers.

Nice, I currently have a pair of Genesis Physics 1s stacked on top of my Advents. It sounds awesome. I think the Gens bring some clearer highs and add some mids. Advents bring the bass. It's a nice setup but I still think I'd prefer two sets of Advents stacked.
