Forgot to mention in my other article:  It's not Advent that's always pioneering
it's Henry Kloss.  KLH invented the high-quality compact music system back around
1970 or so; these are long gone, but were marvelous little systems made at a
time when "compact" meant "GE low-quality record player", and large components
were the only way to get quality.  Later, they made the "KLH table radio" -
a high quality, very small, cheap mono receiver.

As for AR, if I remember right, they introduced the first acoustic suspension
speakers, at a time when "quality speaker" meant huge and expensive.

That you can describe HLK's stuff today, in retrospect, as "simple" is a
monument to the degree to which his ideas have since become accepted practice.
