This shows one such assembly installed in a Large Advent. I don't mind building them in the "extended" or "decrease" setup, if asked to do so. When I make new crossovers for these speakers, I omit the switch and hard-wire the circuit in one configuration, usually the "normal" one. Key to Crossover Symbols and Component Values (in a new window) They are all linked to more readable sized versions. The bottom two are the "New Large Advent" on the left, and the 5002/5012 on the right. The first four are for the OLA - one shows the full "stock" configuration, with the switch and all parts, the other three show the circuit in reduced form for each switch position. The latter used Ferrofluid, and uses a different crossover. The first two used similar tweeters, often refered to as the "fried egg tweeter", with the first showing a raised mounting panel and the "NLA" version flush-mounted on a metal plate. This woofer was continued in use for the 5002. The "New" version has a custom-stamped basket that fits a 12" hole but supports the 10" cone/surround with metal. The original uses a Masonite ring to mount the cone in a twelve-inch basket, and had an "inverted" surround to clear the grill. There are essentially three generations of it: the "original", or "OLA", the "New Large Advent", or "NLA", which I have seen marked on the rear as the "A3", and the 5002/5012.Īll three used ten-inch woofers that were similar in function, although different in appearance. The so-called "Large" Advent speaker, with its various acronyms, was originally simply "The Advent Speaker", when it was the only product made by the company. Have any photos, info, stories on your Advent Loudspeakers? Please leave a comment or email me.HUMAN Speakers is still building and shipping speakersĭuring this public health crisis More information. Here's a great forum thread on how to identify your Advent Loudspeakers. They do an excellent job, and I have earned the HiFi Collector recommendation badge of approval! The pair in the photo were recently re-edged at Orange County Speaker. Even the nice cabinets were very reasonably-priced. The "Loudspeaker" came in two sizes (these are the large ones), and a couple of cabinet finishes. Perhaps that's why I like my JBL L100 Century, but LOVE my Advents.
I've talked about how I like my receivers to have a little coloration in their sound, but I like my speakers to deliver only what I send them - hypocritical? Maybe. It's not that Advent invented the best loudspeaker ever created when The Loudspeaker hit the stage in 1976 (circa), it's that it sounded so natural, so good for its price.
