I have an opportunity to buy some Advent Baby II speakers. I have not found
much info in them. What I am mostly needing is a good full range speaker
with a small footprint. I currently have some Bose 201 Series III speakers
but would like to replace them with something that sounds a little warmer
with better highs. The Bose sound crisp but the imaging leaves a bit to be
desired, (it's rigid) and I feel like I am missing presence in the upper
mid-range and very high end. These speakers are going in the cabin of a
sailboat, any opinions?

Thanks

You should probably stick to marine-environment-rated mobile drivers.

And failing that, polypropylene cones with butyl surrounds.

The problem with every marine grade speaker I have heard is that they are
terrible sounding speakers accept for the 10" kicker sub-woofer I have
installed. Since it is in a decent sized cabin, my real issue with
environment is heat more than anything else because I live in Texas and it
gets to be ridiculously hot in the summer (though it's obviously not the
friendliest speaker environment on other fronts as well).

Do you have a suggestion for polypropylene/butyl speakers that are full
range, 6 inch 2 way speakers that are small shelf speakers that are not too
heavy on the bass? I can't use 6 X 9's or anything like that because I have
to set them on shelves in cabinets.

Try NEAR by Bogen.
