Help with these advent speakers

[jstonejam]

Just wondering if someone could help me identify these, paid $10 for them locally.

I don't recognize them. However, I'll mention that in the later Recoton era, Advent's designs were all over the place. These appear to be higher quality, based on the gold plated binding posts and what appears to be an aluminum or titanium tweeter. The shape suggests they were designed for desktop use, but all the advent desktop speakers I found in a Google search looked nothing like these.

Hard to pass those up for a 10 spot

They are ported, so don’t really follow the Advent design philosophy, but they may still sound nice. I just doubt they will be voiced like a Baby Advent or the like.

Still, 10.00 is lunch at McDonalds. Worth a try for sure.

Forgot to mention, definitely Rectocon era. They were made by Heco of Germany (a rebadge of one of their models) Sorry, don’t remember the model number.
