help me identify a pair of advent speakers

[Falconet]

hi AK, someone is selling a pair of advent speakers as well as a pair of sony and a sony amp for cheap and he doesn't know anything about the speakers. I wonder if any of you could indentify these pair?
thanks

Franken speakers. OLA with utility cabinets and woofer and off brand mids/highs.

thanks! are they any good? I guess I'll pass on them though, since the units are not original.

They would have been good if someone hadn't butchered them.

I think you made a wise choice. If they were cheap and had the original "fried egg" tweeter then I would have said "hell yeah."

i just realized the depth of what's been done to these poor speakers seeing pictures of the original and wow, why would anyone do this to them is beyond me.
thanks for your reply.

Whoever Frankenized them didn't even bother cutting out the grill frames for the new drivers.
