Advent 6003

I saw a pair of advent 6003's on ebay and was surprised to see a pair of adents i've never heard of. Any info on these speakers would be appreciated. Additionally, how do these stack up to the origional large advents?

I'm pretty sure these have been discussed. Did you do a search? They are quite rare BTW.

I've got a pair - or would if I could get a 10" Advent/Jensen wooger. (Shameless plug...)
They're a trapezoid shaped 3-way, with a 10" woofer, 5" (?) donut mid (like a big version of the fried egg tweeter), and dome tweeter. They're like the Maestro only funny shaped.
I've got no specs on it, nor do I know where the crossovers are, but suspect they're a nice sounding speaker. I'm expecting improvement on the Legacy sound, but similar character. They look really nice, from a furniture standpoint.
 
The 6003 was, if I'm aligning the stars right and drinking the right potions, the model right before the Maestro, which is another 3-way.

Jensen bought out Advent, and pruduced an "upgraded" line of speakers, including the 5002/5012/anniversary Large Advent, which was a carryover from the Large advent but with a changed tweeter, one of which you'll get aguements that was an improvement, both for and against.

Also, the 6003 was built, a foray into a 3-way design. It is rumored that Advent was planning on doing this 3-way before Jensen bought 'em out, but I can't confirm nor deny this.

Later came the top-of-the-line Maestro. This was the period of the Legacy, Prodigy, ect. speakers. Jensen was in full ownership at this time, with a completely different lineup of speakers offered.

There was a smallish speaker made at this time, the Baby Advent, and Baby Advent II. I own the Baby Advent II, and find it a delightful speaker for it's diminutive size.

Maestro owners find them to be an excellent sounding speaker. I'd imagine the 6003s are the same.
