Brooke Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I have a pair of Acoustic Research speakers so-identified. In good condition except for the non-existent foam. What Model/vintage are they? Are they worth restoring with new foam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar_pro Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 You're certain that they are Acoustic Research, and not Advent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffS Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Do they look like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lARrybody Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Or maybe they look like these, not AR's at all, but Advents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks for your responses. You are all correct and I was wrong. The speakers are marked Advent. But my question remains the same (though the answer may well be different): to what Advent Model to they correspond and are they worth restoring (by replacing the foam). I want the model number to be able to specify the foam correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar_pro Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 They were an homage to the original "Large Advent" speaker; these were produced under Jensen ownership, and most closely resemble the model 5012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Brooke, Welcome to the CSP! Those are nice ADVENT speakers and as ar_pro pointed out they are rebadged 5012s. Take a look at this thread for a rundown, with pics, of all Advent speakers: http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/identifying-your-advent-loudspeakers.126376/ You may have to register/sign in to view all the pictures. Also Google "advent 25th anniversary limited edition speakers" for more info. -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
