I was wondering how the timeless Large Advent compare to some of the modern speakers? I looked to find the sensitivity for these speakers but could not find the spec,anyone know what it is?
I as well owned a pair way back when. Had them tied to a Phase Linear 400. No idea what the sensitivity was but it took some juice to get them going. My guesstimate would be around 88dB.
I had a double advent stack in my early twenties. I still miss them. Talk about bang for the buck. I was assembling Dynaco kits to power them. My neighbors all knew I had them. They did have a few faults but at that price (about $130 bucks/pair) they were hard to beat. Doubling up the pair just magnified their strengths. I still have one pair of them in the closet, can't bring myself to get rid of em. They were my first 'real' speaker.
The cabinets are not in great shape and the woofers surrounds rotted away years ago. Every now and then I consider getting reconed woofers from ebay and firing them up just for old time sake, as yet I've never gotten around to it. Thanks for the offer.
woofers can be repaired at new england speaker,for a very reasonable price[about 70.00 a pair].bought a pair of these spkrs. for 10.00 and had this done,they sound very good,all things considered.
