Advent 201A Restoration or Spare Parts?
I picked this tape deck up thinking I might try to get it working. Having opened it up and taken a closer look, I'm leaning towards just trying to find a working or semi-working 201 and keeping this for parts. The primary fault seems to have been the power switch. Either the power cable got... -

Troubleshooting Advent 4002 re-cap
I've done a handful of crossover re-caps and hadn't had any issues with the previous ones, but after re-capping the first crossover in one of my 4002s (was waiting on the second to A/B them), I'm not getting any signal to the low frequency driver; I do get audio from the HF driver, but it sounds... -

Old Large Advents - Fried fried egg tweeter cause/replacement?
My Old Large Advent has a fried fried egg tweeter. Is it caused by electronic components in the box or a pushed in cage that collapsed the cone and caused the wires to contact the speaker material?

Advent Bullnose (A3) VS EPI A120
The Advent’s have been refoamed and the cabs need some love. The EPI look fab, but never been serviced. Can get either for basically the same price ($240 CDN). Have only ever heard the Bullnose’s IRL and that was 30 years ago but they seem to have a serious following. So putting it out... -

Which is Better to Stack: OLAs or NLAs?
I have had stacked Advents several times on this journey toward audio nirvana. The first time was in the late '70s, when I heard them in a stereo store in my hometown of Columbus, Ga. They were NLA utility cabinets and I was absolutely blown away by the sound. After being mesmerized by them...- David bland

KLH Model 6 vs New Large Advent (NLA)?
In the process of restoring a pair of Model 6’s, and wondering how they compare with the NLA’s. I had a pair of OLA’s, but the mid/upper ends of my newly-recapped 6’s don’t sound like what I remember the OLA’s sounded like (but then, those didn’t get a recap). A single NLA speaker I used as a... -

Reviving some Advent Minis
I have five of these that all need their surrounds done. Four of them are from one "batch," I think, and I picked up a fifth to use as the center channel for a matched 5.1 set in the bedroom system.
