Help with ID'ing some vintage speakers

[RClinton]

Just getting into the vintage audio and have found some speakers I really like but looking for some help with identification.

First is what appear to be original advent loudspeakers but they had metal framed woofers which I think are from later year advents instead of masonite ringed woofers.

The second are knight speakers but they had no id labels on them. I like the sound but looking for some help with model id. Thx

On the Advents, those are Walnut Advents and I agree with your assessment that those woofers look to be from the later models as I don't believe the Walnuts were sold without the masonite woofers. They look like the Advent replacement woofers I have seen installed in other models. Could be some shop sold them new replacements rather than refoam the old ones.

Don't know the model of the Allied/Knight's, but they were made by Utah.

I remember reading that somewhere... Probably here... There should be at least one or two threads on here about those.

Thanks for the replies. The advents need some repair at this point. I believe they need a recone because the voicecoils are dragging even after a fresh refoam using correct shims, etc...

I'll research the knights to see what info I can find. Were they good speakers?
