"Newest" Advent Towers

There are a pair of Advent Jade towers local and I can't find ANYTHING on them. I have 4 pairs of advents 2 large (4002 & the new" , baby II, and my main heritage towers. I know the later were jensen speakers and the Jade are made by the 3rd owners of advent. They look more like a Snell design with the 2 way design in the large enclosure.

Anyone have experience with the last of the advents?

They are a very similar design to traditional Advents. No relation to Snell. These were made while Advent was owned by Audiovox in the late 90s.

The tweeters on these speakers have a faceplate with an integrated bass port. And the tweeters are an adaptation of the Legacy-age polyamide tweeter, but with a translucent film diaphragm. They tweeters are VERY good. They have a low Fs and the ones I tested performed admirably to about 1800Hz without distortion. The woofer is a pretty basic 8" that does the job.

If you get them and spend some time shoring up the cabinets to deaden them, you may be very happy with them for a long time.

The bass port is what is throwing me on advents?! I know it has nothing to do with Snell's, but the shape and 2 way remind me of my type E Snell's slightly. The tweeters are what keeps bringing me back to the listing.

They would not out preform my heritage towers world they?
