    CORRECT Advent 5012 fiberglass stuffing mystery finally SOLVED

    I just bought a virgin pair of Advent 5012 speakers in walnut veneer. Other than an incorrect refoam they have never been tinkered with internally. The fiberglass inside consists of rolled pieces. I confirmed it's rolled prior to removal. The piece on the bottom is 37" long, 12" wide and about...

    Advent 5002 vs Genesis Genre II

    Hello, new here. I'm the first to admit I am not a high-end audio aficionado, but I enjoy good sound. I have a pair of refoamed Genesis Genre IIs in excellent condition. Human Speakers in NH did the refoaming and found they didn't need any other work. A person local to me just posted a...

    Advent 5012 crossover issue

    I am having an issue with my Advent 5012/W's (1983 era - no tweeter switch) after a crossover change. The old 7uF electrolytic in the tweeter was replaced with Jantzen Audio 0.22uF 1200V Z-Superior and Dayton Audio 6.8uF 250V polypropylene caps. The old 32uF electrolytic in the woofer was...

    Advent 5002 Questions & Impressions

    I have a pair of Advent 5002 speakers with pretty rough cabinets, but the drivers seem ok. Obviously the woofers will need to be refoamed. My question is: are they worth fixing? I've read some very good reviews here on AK, with some folks saying they are the best of the large Advents, with...

    Advent 5002 / 5012 Tweeter Voice Coil Repair or Replacement?

    Hi all, been a while. I happened across an affordable pair of 5002’s and finished my refoam the other day. The tweeters had dents in them and my OCD couldn’t get past the tiny dimples left over from the “tape trick”. Should have just let it be. Anyways, without doing ANY research like an...
