The Advent was my first serious speaker system, inspired by the Stereophile review and embellished by the literature supplied by Mr. Henry Kloss, containing such classic phrases as "Hoffman's Iron Law" and "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, or the line that's the straightest under the circumstances."
But the key thing about these speakers wasn't the absolute neutrality or other such audiophile considerations. It was the deep bass that seemed to rise out of the earth and take over the room, which I had never heard before the Advent. Kloss was a genuine inspiration to me.
