Notes: The New advents were based on the same design on the originals with some improvements. The "New Advent Loudspeaker (1978 - 1983) They are quite rare and almost always need repair to get working, but are cool pieces of advent history. They could be driven with a preamp or high level input like an amplifier. 50 watts for the tweeter and 100 for the woofer. There were a version of the New advent that were POWERED! Each speaker had built in amplifiers. Here are the "New Advent" line of speakers. Rumored to have the same woofers as the /3 series. It is unlikely you will ever find a pair for sale at any given time, but pick two up when you can.

Notes: The 400 series was designed to go with the advent 400 series table radios. The woofers were 6" with butyl surrounds or treated cloth surrounds (depending on year produced)Īdvent 400 series (manufacture dates unknown) Most will use them in an environment where good sound is preferred but excessive volume is not (IE an office or bedroom) However, its downfall is its terrible efficiency (85db / watt) which makes it power hungry, but at the same time easy to bottom out of you turn them up.

The plus to the /3 was the amazing bass response for such a small box.
It uses the same cone tweeter as the model 2, but only one instead of two in an array. Notes:The advent /3 is a great small bookshelf that still has the classic look and sound. You will need to cut some smaller advent surrounds to fit. It is also important to note that there are NO surrounds in production for the 2 series. The 2 series had a 10" basket with 8.5" cone sunk into it with a masonite ring to support it. However most mistake it for an indoor/outdoor speaker. The 2W was a plastic version that was supposed to be a modern-looking speaker. The 2 and 2w are known for being excessively bright, and bounce HF everywhere with the tweeter array. It was touted as being "large advent sound in a small box" but was actually a very sad representation.
Corners were cut in the manufacturing, including the cheap paper tweeters, and poor crossover design. Notes: The 2 series was meant to be the poor man's advents. The "Spitwad" dust cap is stock and critical for the response of the woofer The woofers were a 11" basket using a 9.5" woofer. The smaller advent is a fine speaker and sounds similar to the LA while taking up less space. The smaller advent was a 4 ohm speaker, and the only 4 ohm speaker of the original line. Available with red or green fried egg tweeters. Notes: There were no cabinet variations like the original large advents had, only the utility style. Here's a link to Stereophile's review on the smaller advent -Thanks Celt! This allowed for a higher excursion and therefore a greater low-bass extension. The woofers have a 12" basket, but have a 10" cone sunk into them with the use of the Masonite ring. Green fried egg tweeters are rarely ever seen on these, but they do exist. They all have Masonite woofers and grill spacers. If you have a steel connector plate on the back of the cabinet, they are the 1st model from 1969. Notes: The utility was the most common being it was affordable, but the walnut definitely looks better. Walnut veneer with chamfered or beveled front Contributions are always welcome if you have something that does not exist in the database.Ĭrossover Information -Thanks, Pete Basel ! it is protected so that only AK members have access to it.

If you have something to add in the way of pictures or descriptions, feel free to email them to me (jpdylon - at - cox -dot- net) and I will post them in this thread. I may have omitted some models, but that's only because I can't remember them. This is NOT a thread to post "LOOK WHAT ADVENTS I GOT!" or "WHAT DO I HAVE?" This is simply a reference. This is by no means a complete reference, just the most common speakers that are seen on the used market. I have agreed to input my knowledge of what I know on advents and their various models. Njord Noatun originally came up with the idea of an advent reference sticky. There seems to be a large amount of frequent threads in the last year or so with a title that is something to the effect of "what advents are these?" A huge thank you to all the contributors who have given the literature for our library, provided pictures, and for anything that has helped this library grow.
