For those who didn't live through those years, the Novabeam stood to be a revolutionary product!
There wasn't any "new ground" broken by the Advent speaker, it was just another refinement of several of the speakers that had been produced by KLH earlier. This is not a criticism of the Advent, but it wasn't new technology like the Heil AMT or the Dahlquist DQ-10. It was a good product at a fair price and produced a strong and steady revenue stream to fund other development.

I remember Henry showing these at many CES shows in the 70's. I wasn't into video then, and I am not now, although I do have a 27" tube HDTV.
My wife has the surround sound system. I am still into two channel
You could tell Henry was using Advent to fund development, I don't have a problem with it either. Koss used the headphone cash cow to fund the electrostatic Model 1 speakers, and the CM line of speakers.
