Hello everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. I have just joined the lounge today.
My name is Joe and I am from the Boston, Massachusetts area - grew up in Boston and have lived for the last 30 years about 15 miles west of Boston in Framingham.
I am not a big home theater enthusiast - I am primarily a music listener. I listen to everything, but rock favorites include The Rolling Stones, The Black Crowes, TTB, JA, Tull, Steven Wilson, PT among (many!) others. I am also a jazz fan: Miles, Tom Harrell, Dave Douglas, Chet Baker, Cassandra Wilson, Diana Krall.....
Additionally, I am a huge sports fan, runner, play darts and and enjoy - tremendously - the world of craft beer.
I have a modest set up and when a set of tried-and-true Advents began to show their age, I began looking for a replacement, while - at the same time - looking to upgrade. I had seen a review of the T1s in The Absolute Sound and the more I looked into them, the more the speakers (not to mention the company itself!) seemed right for me. I am looking to make the purchase over the next month or so.
Thank you for permitting me to join. I am sure I will have a question or two - yes, I will check FAQs first - and will be grateful for your patience with me.

Welcome to the Lounge! Great music choices!! I'm sure you'll get some input on the speakers, whenever an owner gets a chance to see your post. I'd be curious to compare the T1s and the T2s. Other than the dual 6" v. 8" I'm curious to see how the different crossovers from midrange to tweeters play out (both speakers have the same midrange and tweeter).

Thanks everyone -glad to have found the product(s) and the forum!
I am driving my Advents with an Onkyo TX SR-606. It is a lovely receiver for my room.
I am hoping (it has been a while since I have purchased audio components) that the T1s will be a straightforward connection to the receiver. I did send this question to the Emotiva Support Team and await an answer. If I don't hear anything, I will post this question in the appropriate forum. I can already see there is a wealth of knowledge that I can benefit from!
Thanks again!

Welcome, Joe. I grew up in southern NH, but haven't lived there in a long time. The T1s should connect to your receiver speaker outputs with simple speaker wire (you can use banana plugs etc.)

Welcome, I truly loved my double original Avents for many years. I’ve homebrewed over 50 batches of various ales over the years. Love IPA’s . Enjoy. Support your local craft brewer.

Our interests line up perfectly. I'm big into classic 70s rock, and recently started to learn more about Jazz.. was listening to Chet Baker Sings last night He was such a talent. I'm kinda new as well.. great place here.

Welcome to the nuthouse! If you're a Pats, Celtics, Red Sox fan, that's just fine with me. (I am too). Feel free to ask any question, but be prepared for many answers!
