Speakers should be large enough to handle all that power smoothly, and without stain or coloration. And the record changer shouid handle valuable discs with a minimum of wear while extracting from the grooves every bit of available sound quality. At the heart of System 6 is the twin-powered Harman-Kardon 630 AMFM Stereo Receiver. It delivers 60 watts RMS into 8 ohms, both channels driven, 20 - 20,000 Hz at less than 0.5 THD, less than 0.15 IM distortion. Twin-power means two separate power supplies, one for each amplifier section. Which means a cymbal crash on one channel simply cannot effect a drum roll on the other. The record changer is the BSR 71 OX Transcription Series Total Turntable with Shure M-91E cartridge, sequential cam drive mechanism, transcription arm system, pushbutton operation, full-size 12-inch 4-pound platter, walnut grained base and tinted dust cover. The Stereophile said it all about the full-size Advent Loudspeakers in System 6: "After several weeks of listening we still hadn't found anything to complain about ... They were, in fact the least-colored loudspeakers we have ever heard, and this includes the highest-priced systems currently available." , H iHr 'fr7 ' 1 1 M f O ir 0 if J !

The Yamaha CR 600 AMFM Stereo Receiver serves as the control cen ter It delivers 30 watts per channel, RMS, at 20 to 20,000 Hz into 8 ohms, with tos than 0.1 Total Harmonic Distortion and Intermediation Dis tortion Its highly advanced FM tuner section uses s pair of super-low-noisa dual-gated MOS FETs in the FM RF amplifier and mixer stage. Result: ex traordinary response to even the most feeble FM signals. The CR GOO has numerous convenience features such ss a specialized microphone mixing amp twin tape recordplayback circuits, continuously-adjustable loudness control, and relay-operated speakerpower protection circuits. Turntable for System 7 is the Phillips GA2 12, a manual that offers such refinements as less than 0.1 wow and flutter, and rumble -62 d3. Wa equip the GA212 with a cartridge to match its low stylus tracking weight ability: the critically-acclaimed ADC VLM. As we've said repeatedly, all the power and refinements in electronics are worthless without speakers to match - and for an advanced system, we re commend the ESS amt-1, with the unique Neil airmotion transformer. Un like any conventional, the "squeezing" action of the Heii allows the most perfect sound reproduction currently available - at any price. , , .
