Advent/1 vs New Large Advents

[Ryanj52]

I bought my first pair of Advent speakers about 6 months ago as a project they are a pair of Advent/1 that needed to be refoamed.  I actually bought them specifically to try and refoam a set of speakers.  I refoamed them and was really surprised how great they sounded.  So since then I have been researching Advent speakers and decided I wanted to pickup some Large Advents when I could find some locally.  Well tonight I found some New Large Advents for cheap that need a refoam that I am picking up tomorrow.  I started wondering since the NLA's and the Advent/1's use the same or very similar speakers how much difference is there in the sound with the larger cabinet? What really is the difference?

The New Advents and Advent/1's DO use identical drivers. Different crossovers.

The basic difference between the two models is that the New Advents will have about another octave lower output than the Advent/1's. In other words, more bass.

Doug,

 

Thanks, I picked up the new advents, but haven't got started on the refoam yet.

 

Thanks Ryan

I have a pair of Advent/1's and NLA's and I was quite surprised by how little the /1 

gives up in bass extension.  I've not compared them side by side but the /1's are

surprisingly good, one of my favorites.

I hope that you compare yours side by side and let us know.
