I am currently using a pair of older Advent floor standing speakers (no model numer but says "The Advent Loudspeaker" on the back) that my Uncle gave them to me a while back for the front speakers in my setup. They must be around 15-20 or so years old, but they have each had their 12” woofers replaced with new ones. So they are in pretty good condition. I think that they sound great for their age, and the cabinets on them are very high quality, much better than most of the cheap materials you see used today, and they where made in Cambridge U.S.A. They honestly sound better than a lot of the speakers I have listened to today. My question is, was Advent once a respectable company when it came to speakers? It seems like all they make now are smaller speakers. Is anyone using an older pair of Advents? I would like to upgrade my speakers, but I don’t really have the money, and don’t really know much about these speakers that I have. Thanks for any input you can give on Advent! BTW I found a few pictures of my same exact Advents (link below) so you can get an idea of which ones they are.
