Guest Peter J Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi, new poster hereI remember Advents from my early audio interest years, in fact my bro in law still has a pair...The Smaller Advents, if I'm not mistaken.Anyway, I ran across these on Craigslist, and they look somewhat different than I remember. I'm gonna go look tommorrow, but thought I'd research first. Owner doesn't know model #, (he's at work, speakers in storage) but was willing to hook them up and let me listen. Questions: What are they? What are the possible areas of concern and would they be worth $80? Hope I'm doing this right...Thanks for any help,Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi Peter and welcome!Check this thread:http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=126376Looks like they are the New Advents with bullnose frame. Walnut veneer I assume. Real nice speakers! Check the foam surrounds for rot. If they need replacement you can DIY for about $25. If you have to pay to have them done the price goes up of course.They should be well worth that price IMHO. A pristine pair with new surrounds was recently on eBay for 125+125 s/h but the auction was ended early. Another nice pair was listed for $225 BIN but the bidding only went up to 88 (also with new surrounds).Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
