Trade BIC Venturi six for Large advent?

[Zilch]

Get the Advents. Where else can you get such a deal on one of the 25 best speakers of the last 40 years, acc. to Stereophile?

I read this Stereophile review with considerable interest, particularly the measurements page:

http://stereophile.com/historical/506advent/

A clear upgrade path is indicated:

Some aspects of the Smaller Advent's measured performance were positive. For example, it reminded me of the benefits for bass performance of a well-tuned sealed box, compared with the reflex designs that are now ubiquitous. But despite its relatively even balance through the midrange and low treble, the Advent's tweeter is a total underperformer compared with modern designs, and its cabinet is way too resonant.--John Atkinson

I've heard both and also would take the Advent. For a bit different take there is a lot more "tweak info" on Advent. Also I believe AK member Zilch was posting about developing the waveguide concept for the Advent. Backburner thing for him right now but it might be fun to try if he comes up with something.

That is a lot to digest and will take some time...
These speakers are like opposite to the BIC 6... For now still trying to concur the Sansui 9090db and getting close.
