    3 truckloads of speakers...

    I answered a craigslist ad and bought about 3 pickup truck loads of speakers for $100. Some are in good shape, some need a new surround or driver, and some have trashed cabinets. I'm trying to sort out what I've bought, what's worth restoring/repairing/keeping and what is best turned into an art...

    Quick question on Advent Heritage fuse

    What is the correct size please? I bought a pair from an auction. The crossover needed some heat to reattach things. One speaker has a fuse marked 250V/7A, the other has a bent box staple. The one reference place I found was confusing and suggested a much larger fuse than 7A. The specs...

    Advent Love or no Love?

    For some reason many Advent speakers dont get much love it seems. I know some do like Advents, but impression I get is that most people think that they are just Ok. I know it is different from model to model, but overall this is what it looks like to me. I have had my pair of Advent Heritage for...

    Hi, I recently bought a pair of Advent loudspeakers, circa 1975. They sound good, but the high frequency switch at the back of the speaker seems to make little or to my ears no difference when switched between its three settings. The caps (revision 2 crossover, 16uf and 8uf) seem to be the...
