    Old Guy's Cave W/ KLH Fives added

    Recently aquired KLH Fives. Redoped the mids and woofers. Waited as long as could, two days, to cure. First listen today. One speaker has non original mids that will be replaced. A little wide apart yet. They do the East Coast Vintage Sound well. Ample bass through subdued highs. Which I like...

    Original Advent Loudspeaker replacement

    Hi all, I currently have a Luxman R-115 running a pair of original Advent loudspeakers (had the speakers rebuilt a few years back). Sounds fantastic! That said, I'm itching for a change lately, and I think you'd likely tell me to start with the speakers. Is there a worthy (modern) replacement...

    Why do so many people say that Advents dont image well?

    Just reconnected my Smaller Advents today, and Im always just blown away by the sound quality they put out. Ive had a lot of speakers run through my home over the last 5 years, but I just cannot get away from these things. Refoamed, and recapped, these are my favorite of all that Ive had so far...

    I would like some help with my Advents please and thank you.

    Salutations everyone! I have a pair of Advent Powered Loudspeakers, and I am not sure what to to do with them. I have had them for about five years and noticed one of the woofers are beginning to rot. They are in great shape cosmetically but need refoaming and likely some electrical...

    What's wrong with my Advent 5002? They sound very harsh.

    I picked up these quite sometime ago. I just refoamed them and hooked them up to my usual receiver. These sound horrible. My speakers have these tweeters, whereas others have the "fried egg" tweeters. Are these tweeters original? I also have the switch on the back that goes from normal to...

    Refinishing accent wood on Jensen era Advents

    Any tips or tricks for refinishing Jensen era Advents with the pecan wood accents? I found a pretty beat up pair of Advent Maestro II speakers cheap. I'm knee deep in restoring this and figuring might as well go all the way. I already refoamed woofer, stripped foam off front baffle and...

    OLA Tweeter sources?

    I sold a fellow my OLA's and he's had a chance to test them, and is finding a problem with the tweeters. He says: I hooked your speakers up, and heard right away the tweeters are damaged. I double checked by installing my tweeters in your boxes, and they sounded fine. The distortion shows as a...

    Advent Legacy Speakers

    Hey, I just picked up a pair of new-in-box Advent Legacy Speakers. They are huge and heavy, housed in bullnose light brown wood casing. They do say "Jensen" on the back. The guy who had them appeared to be a hoarder, the speakers had never been touched let alone used. They must be about 36...

    Advent "fried egg" tweeter questions

    I have a pair of the Advent tweeters I am considering selling. These are the green "fried egg" style. When I flirted with owning a pair of Small Advents (or whatever they were called), the highs were somewhat muffled, to the point of immediately pulling these out and puting in some spare cloth...

    Hi All I have refoamed a pair of Advent Legacy 3s making sure of all the potential hazards (centering the VC etc) were accounted for. The result appeared great with no rubbing etc UNTIL i hooked them up the amp and now they both sound flat. If flat isn't the right description another would be it...

    Goodwill Baby Advents

    Typically I only find CD's or records in the Goodwill. If they have anything around me it is junk. Imagine my surprise the other day when I found a pair of Baby Advent II's. $6 for the pair and sequentially numbered. Of course they need foam. Wood is real nice, no major scratches or stains...

    Advent 5002 refoam and restoration

    I picked up three Advent 5002 off my local CL about a week ago. The guy had three for some reason and didn't want to keep just one, so he gave me all three for $30. I've read about people scoring on these for a similar price, but I couldn't believe my luck. Needless to say, they need...
