I found a reference that they were made in 1972. The whole system was given 
to me by a cousin who had bought it new, and had just upgraded to a then-new 
Sony system. Personally I think I got the better part of the deal, and he's 
amazed I'm still using what he was ready to throw away. I love the wood 
grained speakers, and luckily my wife does too.

Surround is nice, but not nice enough that I would want to replace the 
Advents. Adding the dbx subwoofer has helped them out. I used to joke they 
were the largest satelite speakers around. For any Star Wars/Trek type 
movies the engine noises literally shake the floor with that thing.


So I just may be the only one using 70's era equipment on my main Myth 
system. :-)
