Klipschtastic Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hello everyone, I found a pair of Advents in my local trader for $60. I called the owner who was not very knowledgable about them said they are in excellent condition and are 26" tall which sounds like the original Advents. He says they are no more than about 20 years old and I read online they stopped producing the original Advents around 1989? He says they don't have a model number listed on them anywhere and the grills aren't too easy to remove so he didn't even know if they were two way or three way. He also said there was a 4 ohm, 8ohm switch on the back. 1) If they are in fact 2way and 26" tall could they be anything but the original Advents? 2) Do the grills just pull off these older speakers or is there a trick to it? 3) What do you think of them? I may use them in the basement for a second system. I may go look at them tomorrow depending on what you guys tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Bum Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 1- Those could be Legacy or Maestro, which were made up until the late 80's. 2- Not sure about the grills for the original Advents, but the ones from the 1980's models were standard issue removable type. 3- If you look at them, be sure to check the woofer surrounds for rot.
