    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...

    Help to identify Rev. # of Advent OLA crossover

    Can’t seem to figure out what crossovers I have here for a set of OLA’s. I know there are pre 1970 since they are on a metal plate instead of Masonite. Not sure if the caps are original either. Can anyone identify? Thanks!

    Original Large Advent Restoration

    About one month ago I picked up a pair of original large advents for $10 (these are the walnut veneer ones with beveled front edge). Before you praise me too much on this deal, only 1 is a complete cabinet. The other cabinet is missing both drivers and beige grill cover but at least has the...

    Picked this up on a CL tour to other parts of the state

    Saw a set of KLH 17's in poor condition cheap a couple of hours away. Decided to make a day of it and searched and found a set of OLA's. Managed to score both. The 17's with excellent original green grills with badges, but the cabinets need some serious help and the tweeters aren't original...

    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...
