2007年9月14日 · Notes: This is the successor to both the Advent /1 and its older cousin the "smaller advent." It is the cabinet volume of the advent /1, same woofer as the advent /1 and new advent, but new front styling, a soft dome tweeter and new crossover. These are excellent speakers for their size and are relatively inexpensive.

2016年2月13日 · This is a review and detailed measurements of the "The New Advent Loudspeaker" vintage speaker, circa 1977. The sample under test was kindly provided by our own @Dennis Murphy. He has looked it over and replaced a crossover capacitor to make sure it has the value it originally had. The woofer...

2020年9月8日 · Since I'd recently decided to try and make a Dolby Atmos home theater system using vintage Advent speakers (that's another thread entirely) naturally I thought of these little guys for use as surround speakers. It was time for some restoration work. It's pretty much a guarantee that any old Advent speaker is going to need a refoam.

2010年4月11日 · The Large Advent speakers goes deep and clean, not the fastest bass response mind you, but very good never the less. Still have to get mine together, my ESS AMT 3's took precidence, and now I lack the time again.

2020年8月20日 · The Original Large Advent (OLA) were made until about 1977. They are fine speakers. I have a pair in my garage, powered by an 85 wpc Yamaha. Previously, I powered them with a 40 wpc NAD. I can hear the speakers down the street if I crank it. Fortunately, I don't have any close neighbors.

2018年5月14日 · They could be driven with a preamp or high level input like an amplifier. They are quite rare and almost always need repair to get working, but are cool pieces of advent history." "The Advent /1 (1978 - 1983) "The advent /1 was designed to be the replacement for the original smaller advent.

2006年8月18日 · The Advent/1 was the replacement for the Smaller Advent. It used the same drivers as the New Advent Loudspeaker, but in a smaller cabinet. If the pirce is right, they're capable speakers, but I wouldn't seek them out.

2019年11月1日 · The Advent 1 carried over the same woofer but used the revised tweeter from the "New" Advent large speaker. I did notice that the Stereo Review article gives the Fb of the Advent 1 and the New Advent, which suggests that Stereo Review did review the New Advent somewhere, some time:

2020年1月15日 · I have a pair of Original Large Advent speakers. They are Franken-vents. Bought them used ca.1973-4 from the original owner who had sold them and then bought them back. I think I paid about $100. The second owner was an EE student who replaced the original crossovers with his own design.

2007年5月20日 · The 5012 was a version of the original Large Advent and later New Advent, the Henry Kloss-designed relative bargain mid-fi (but excellent mid-fi) brute of a speaker. The original used the now-infamous fried-egg tweeter, which was then mounted on a masonite plate, and originally used what was basically a long-throw 10" cone woofer, stuck in a 12 ...
