I have a set of APL (Advanced Physics Labs) Advent clones. I was wondering if there is a place to get replacement NOS Advent 10'' woofers, or what would be a good alternate woofer for the speakers.
www.simplyspeakers.com carries OEM Large Advent woofers. They also have the foam repair, etc. They were a repair facility for Advent, AR, KLH, etc back when.
Ken Kantor of AR & NHT fame has done some testing of re-foamed AR 12's using the Simply Speaker re-foam kits. The foam that they use has to be quite different than the OEM foam that AR used. The parameters of operation all shifted quite noticeably when comparing the Simply Speakers re-foamed drives to OEM drivers and drivers that were re-foamed at another facility. If they have brand new OEM woofers, those would be worth picking up, but their re-foam kits may provide results that are quite different than what one is expecting. Sean >
what are the possibilities of using modern drivers, from some one like Focal or Scanspeak with the original cabinets and crossovers? Both are in good condition.
