Pair Vintage Advent Loud Speakers Designed by Henry E. Kloss 1970s? Pickup Only
Presented is a pair of vintage Large Advent Loudspeakers, designed by Henry
Kloss. We believe these date to the 1970s-1980s, but we are not certain. If
anyone has any more solid information as to the date or specific model, feel
free to let us know and we will update with that information. The cabinets are
beveled wood, likely walnut, and the fabric fronts are waffle-weave. These are
quite large and heavy speakers, so they are for local pick-up only. Please view
all photos carefully!
In our research it seems that the Advent Loudspeakers in this large size are
very desirable and highly regarded in the audiophile world, even today and in
comparison to modern sound equipment. Certainly Kloss is a very well known name
in audio engineering and by all accounts that expertise was very well applied in
the design and craftsmanship of these speakers.
This pair of speakers is in great overall condition. One of the larger
interior speakers (a woofer?) has a little separation between the fabric and
where it is glued, that is the one in the ninth photo pictured on the righthand
side, the separation is around the upper right quadrant of the speaker. Some
splits to the material here and there as well, as you can see. Some
discoloration to the fabric of the front, which from our comparison to other
Advent speakers seems pretty normal. The wood cabinets are in great shape, only
a few nicks/abrasions here and there which could likely be polished up.
Each speaker stands about 25 3/8 inches tall and measures about 14 1/8 x 11 ¼
inches, in terms of footprint.
