New Large Advent Speaker (Single)
New Large Advent Speaker
Image and more info: http://members.aol.com/KDresch/newadvent.html The Large Advent Loudspeaker - a classic design by Henry Kloss, a brilliant speaker designer who began at AR, was the "K" in KLH, started Advent and was associated with Cambridge Sound. Mr. Kloss passed away in 2002. Over 500,000 pair of these speakers were sold! One of the best speakers ever. Mentioned in Stereophiles top 100 audio items in the last 40 years. This is the NEW Large Advent in a walnut grain vinyl cabinet. 2-way design, 10" woofer in 12" frames and the famous flush mount orange "fried egg" cone tweeter. Use as a center, spare or in a mono tube amp set-up. The New Large Advent offered improvements over the preceeding model: The flush mount tweeter used ferrofluid for greater power handling ability and the pesky hardboard ring was dropped on the woofer through a new basket design. Cabinets are in fair condition. This single is in nice shape as you can tell from the orginal image. Cabinet has a few scratches and there is one small stain on the grill but overall I'd rate an 8/10 cosmetically. Original grill cloth with Advent logos. The original drivers are in outstanding condition and fully functional. Woofer foam just replaced for 20 more years of service. Excellent sound from one of the best selling speakers of all time. Great bass, smooth midrange, gently rolled off treble to create outstanding sound. These speakers take the bright edge off those hotly recorded CD's. When Henry Kloss "voiced" this speaker he created a very balanced octive to octive response that still sounds great 30 years later! You don't see many of these offered - because people like them too much! This speaker was recently listed in Sterophile all time best audio products. These originally sold for $280 pr. in the early 70's. (approx 45lbs gross each).
