What's the scoop on the old Jensen Corp "Advent" speaker by H. Kloss?
I have recently come into a pair of these grand old speakers that feature the 'fried egg' orange tweeters that were once a big hit. They also have a switch to change power or drive attached to each one. I would like to know everything about these before I tear them apart to reuse the cabinets.
Any and all information will be appreciated.

The original Advent was not made by Jensen. That switch was used to boost the tweeter output. I owned the Advent many moons ago and it was outstanding for that era! It is listed as one of the most significant speakers ever produced! https://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/most-influential-speakers More info! http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-12-most-significant-loudspeakers-of-all-time/

Are you sure those are original Advents? The xover is 1000hz and the switch is for the tweeter! Here are the specs! https://www.stereophile.com/content/advent-loudspeaker-specifications |
