Hi, just joined the CSPDF since I have just acquired my first pair of "Large Advents".
I have been looking for years and only seen some really beat up ones with vinyl veneer.
I thought I knew what I was looking for but when these showed up realized I didn't know much.
First my knowledge was based on what little I knew years ago and I have been searching CL for a decent pair that had wood veneer.
So these have beveled front edges and I only knew about the rounded edge version.
I bought them from the original owner who said he bought them new in 1975 and the dates on the tweeters are 1975.
The other odd thing is that one tweeter is red and the other green. The PO said he bought them that way and they sounded the same so he was OK with that.
The P.O. did refoam the woofers and did an OK job. Phone flash is overcritical, in natural light they look great.
The cabinets have a few light scratches on the top of one and a light drink glass discoloring on the top of the other.
They sound great to my ears. The P.O. did not mention recapping them so I might pop them open to check.
Any insight on the mixed tweeters and S/Ns? Any advice on a resource for the recapping how to and sources?
I'd like to find another pair eventually and do the dual Large Advent setup.
Thanks, SS
