Designed by Henry Kloss, they featured a 10' woofer in a 12' frame and mid/high frequency 'fried egg tweeter.' The woofer was a brilliant way to manufacture cheaply a long-excursion, heavy-magnet acoustic suspension woofer. The Advents for sale here are the second generation 'New Advents.' The first generation used a masonite ring; later Large Advents used a woofer with a metal frame with wide flange. Voice-coils, magnets, and cones are identical. The drivers have the same sound as the first generation, but reflect improved quality control. Canzoniere Italiano Pasolini Pdf To Word on this page.
The tweeters are also second generation--the original 'fried egg' dome-cone tweeters are mounted on steel plates rather than the aluminum and masonite plates of the first generation.

Gordon Holt's review of the original Large Advents in Stereophile ( /standloudspeakers/171advent/ ): 'Our first reaction was Ho-Hum! They didn't send us. They seemed to have no character at all.
But is that bad? Well, no, as a matter of fact. A speaker shouldn't have character. And indeed, the Advents did prove to be about as uncolored as anything we had ever heard. No squawk, honk or hollowness, no papery or metallic flavor from disc surface noise, no flabby mid-bass boom.
The extreme low end was very deep, evidently good to at least 35Hz, and the highs were extremely smooth, sweet and detailed. After several weeks of listening, we still hadn't found anything to complain about. Sony Ericsson Pc Companion Free Download For Windows Xp.
