Large Advents: Square Magnet Vs. Round

I made the mistake of forgetting to check if a pair of Large Advent woofers had square or round magnets on eBay. I bought round, but I own New Advents which had square magnets. I'm going for the stacked Advent power and am guessing these woofers have at least some different tonal qualities. Do they, and should I hold out and hunt square ones? Also, was there any difference in the crossovers?

Hmmm... I somehow missed this post. Sorry.

Is the frame around the surround (in front) round or pincushion (pincushion describes the shape; round except for where the mounting holes are where the frame bulges out a little.

If they are pincushion, the woofers are pretty close to the New Advent square magnet woofers and will probably work fine.

The round frame models are probably further away sound-wise but I don't really know. They are from a much later period though.
