Very heavy speakers for their size. The top bestselling speakers in history of music. New matched US-made surrounds (08/2021) and recapped. I had 3 pairs, this is the last and the best looking pair, with an extra feature mod, a tweeter fuse protection installed in the rear, a very helpful thing if you like to play them as loud as you can. The protection can be bypassed if needed; can be hooked up either way, with or without. $495 firm. Stereophile magazine stated: “… listeners who have no particular preference for a certain aspect of or kind of reproduced sound will be as happy with The Advents as with anything costing up to five times as much. Maybe even more so.” The Henry Kloss-designed Advent speakers are classics in audio history and are included in Stereophile’s list of the top 25 speakers of the last 40 years. When you listen to these you tend to forget you are listening to speakers – they are so musical. These speakers exceed performance of legendary Dynaco A25 and offer tighter more extended bass with their 10-inch woofers and acoustic suspension enclosures. Fully tested; All drivers original and in great condition. The walnut veneer cabinets have been oiled.
