NewVision250

Other than the same 8" Prodigy woofer is used in the Graduate and Heritage lines. The shielding 8" woofer is just made with a reversed magnet glued to the woofer magnet to cancel the gauss field.

Since I have two pairs of Prodigy for my HT, main/front center and that they are 27 years old now, I too will mod and restore the prodigy. But first, I must learn to mod the crossover using SoundEasy v23 Loudspeaker Design Software. The woofer is a 1st order and the tweeter is a simple 2nd order. The real question is, Can I make the crossover better using 3rd order ?

You are not only person to work for the "Advent/AR brand". Been there done that, International Jensen employee (General Magnetic Co.) 1989-97. Helped design the bucking magnet shielding style for the shielded Prodigy Tower, Audio Focus, & Audio Cinema center channel speakers. Also own over 30-pair of Advents speakers including the ultra rare new vision 250 bookshelf speakers Remember Jensen back in the day owned the magnet, cone, voice coil, speaker frame / wood cabinet companies. Also back then, Jensen owned Advent, AR, NHT, and Phase Linear. Good to know another employee, BTW it was the best employment time of my life, working for Jensen................

I have a question for Kent (Guest gkentsmith), Where did you obtain all this advent knowledge? Look at my username, what year did the new vision series go on the market? You are not the only one that has multiple advent speakers. Let's measure up.... From A Real International Jensen Employee...
