    Description

    Up for listing is a nice pair of Vintage "Smaller Advent" Loudspeakers designed by famed Loudspeaker voicer Henry Kloss in the late 1960's/early 1970's. They were the "kid brother" of the original famed "Advent Loudspeaker" which is considered one of the Audiophile magazine's 100 best speakers ever made due to it's accurate reproduction of all frequencies and its very deep bass response. The Smaller Advents were designed to deliver the same accuracy (with about -2/db bass) in a smaller cabinet a a reduced cost which made it appeal to the more budget minded audio customer.
    I have re-foamed woofers on many Advent Loudspeakers in the past and I found this pair of Smaller Advents online. They were dirty, the woofer foam was gone, and the speaker grills were stained and torn...I bought them anyway. I tested the voice coils on the woofers and tweeters and they were good. I removed the woofers and checked the capacitors on the crossovers and they were good. No hope for the grills. Sooo...
    I re-foamed the woofers using a kit designed for this speaker system. The dust caps are unique so I did not remove them, and I used a 30 hz pulse tone to center the voice coils. I purchased reproduction grill cloth from an online fabric supply store and used the original Advent badges on them. I cleaned the cabinets up and repaired some dings. There are still a few dings, especially around the corners. I then hooked the speakers up to my 100 watt/channel system and turned on some classic rock from "The Bridge" on Sirius XM satellite radio. The sound was great, even as I cranked up the volume!. They sound like...well, Advents.
    I currently own a stacked pair of original "Large" Advent speakers, so I am going to sell these Smaller Advents. ***Please note...I only accept PayPal for payment, and I will only ship to a PayPal confirmed address in the 48 contiguous states in the USA.
