You might try posting your questions in the vintage forum. It doesn't get as much traffic, but I'm sure there are some folks still listening to Advents who could share some advice and experiences powering them.
I am actually considering having the left channel on my old '74 Kenwood fixed- It drove A&B together just fine for a long time. Not surround but still sounded great with movies. I did school dances 3 or 4 times also!
