thompw Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Is the Advent/1 an 8 ohm speaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Welcome thompw. I don't claim to be an Advent expert but AFAIK there is no such thing as an Advent/1. "The Advent Loudspeaker" aka the OLA was 8 ohms. -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompw Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Quote FYI: The Advent/1 was made from 1977 to 1983. It was made to replace the Smaller Advent. It is slightly larger than the Smaller Advent but smaller than the Large Advent. I currently have a pair of Advent/1's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITCHIJO Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 HEY THOMPW: HERE IS AN ADVENT FORUM AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT YOU COULD HAVE YOUR QUESTION ANSWERED, WITH A SIMPLE YES OR NO. THERE ARE ADVENT 1 SPEAKERS, AND I OWN A SET TO CONFIRM MY ANSWER!!! THE SAD THING ABOUT YOUR PREVIOUS RESPONSE IS A SHAME, THAT MIND NOT ENGAGED ALLOWS FLAPPING JUST TO IMPRESS!!! THE TERMINALS ARE MARKED ON THE RIGHT WITH AN #8 AND THE LEFT WITH A #0 SO PRAYERFULLY THIS HELPS YOU OUT. NOW GO AND ENJOY YOUR HEAVENLY MUSIC!!! TAKE CARE MY ADVENT BROTHER!!!

Based on your response I did another Google search and found the Advent/1. They are 8 ohm speakers. Apparently there was also an Advent 1 (with no slash). Confusing. -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompw Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Thanks, ITCHIJO, for pointing out what I could have seen but didn't! I looked at my Advent/1's, and sure enough, there's an 8 and a 0 next to the terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompw Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 In fact, I was just listening to The Yellow Brick Road earlier this evening! I can't promise to keep the volume to a minimum, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ra.ra Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Yup....8 ohms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I believe the only Advent to NOT be a nominal 8 ohm load is the Smaller Advent at 4 ohms. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra.ra Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Am unable to comment on the entire Advent line, but you're right about the Smaller Advent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 NLAs in the Extended position dip to 3.16 ohms at about 6.5 KHz. I don't recall if the Advent/1 is voiced as the NLA in the Normal or Decrease position where the dip is not as bad, 4.13 ohms Normal, and 5.5 Decrease: These are all far lower than 8 ohms. They called them 8 ohm speakers for marketing reasons. Imagine a stacked pair wired in parallel on Extended with a dip well below 2 ohms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
