Thanks for your comments, Duane.  I agree, although I'm just guessing at 
the power output from this amp since I haven't found any specs on it.  
In fact it would be just like Henry Kloss not to publish output power 
specs, but rather to say "it's loud enough".   Some of his advertising 
material was pretty refreshing, given the lies and stupid claims many 
hi-fi manufacturers made in those days, "IHF music power" and all 
that.   I know the smaller Advents would take everything my old Kenwood 
20 watt per channel amp would give them, and then some.

I tend to believe the blurb I found that referred to 4" woofers and a 
ported design.  That would be more efficient and in line with the power 
level I think this unit delivered.
