Hey there, I recently picked up a pair of Jensen era advents and refoamed them. Anyway, I’ve got no clue what they are. I’ve spent the last couple weeks scouring info, looking at the identify your advents page, other sales listings, nothing that looks like this. They’re like a scaled down legacy, in that they have the extra length of wood on the bottom, unlike baby advents. They’ve also got an 8” woofer out of the prodigy/heritage. No clue what these are, so if anyone has any info, let me know. Also interestingly, I’m quite sure no one’s been in them before, but one of the terminals was connected out of phase. weird huh?
Unknown advents?

running that image through google comes up with some variation of LEGACY.. but there appear to be versions that are taller, that have a vertical tweeter,horizontal tweeter, a woofer higher on the baffle or lower on the baffle.
i'm guessing there are no stickers on the rear...

i had a pair of "futuras" in the 90s. definately not the last word in speakers but i just have always had a thing for 8" 2 ways. the tweeters did kind of suck though.
You have the original Prodigy, as previously discussed here...

The Graduate is smaller, with a different tweeter.
The Legacy variants are larger, with 10" woofers.

i think this is it! Although the woofer looks a bit different. In the post you’ve linked (if I’m looking at the right image) the cone has 2 rings on it, like the larger legacy’s, despite having an 8 inch woofer. Quite surprising sound from an old 2 way, the bass is much better than my first pair of new speakers.
Reviewing the links I posted, the only "ribbed" woofer cone is on the original Legacy (in the pics posted by boston-tom):
