Macduff6 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Apologize if this has already been discussed. I've owned a pair of New Large Advents (A3) since 1978. Amazingly, the original woofer foam is in perfect condition, and they perfectly pass the press/rebound test. But after the speakers were stored some years ago in an unheated house up at 7,000 ft. in the northern Rockies, both tweeters died. I replaced them with the surface mounted versions from SimplySpeakers. All seemed well. But I just noticed for the first time that the tweeter cone actually contacts the back side of the grills. I've never discerned any sound distortion from that, BUT.... Any suggestions for correction, other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lARrybody Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 What tweeter did you use? I would of used these dome Advent copies or looked for the original fried egg tweeters used. https://www.simplyspeakers.com/advent-replacement-tweeter-p85c00019.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwqcKFBhAhEiwAfEr7zTqNFEFexKYYxuQc2B_9-CZSDo0is6gfWw1ISQ7HhOjeQmHj6TvNLBoCnn8QAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macduff6 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 I no longer have the paperwork, but I'm fairly certain those (the P85C00019) are the ones I used. The appearance, anyway is identical to what I installed. But they protrude outward enough to lightly contact the grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
