Our speaker tech has completely gone through and 'Certified' these.Our speaker tech has inspected the foam surrounds and replaced were necessary or 're-attached' with fresh glue.
The cabinets in near great shape as are the grills. The cabinet corners and edges all sharp and crisp. The original grill frames solid and cloth in beautiful condition. And remember, we have just replaced the foam surrounds on all 4 woofers, and both passives for trouble free service. Following the above work, we completely tested them with both recorded material, PN 20-20k and swept them with our AF generator from 20-20,000 Hz (actually all 4 woofers were independently swept after re-foaming and prior to re-installation as well the entire speaker once re-assembled) and feeding them with the output from our Hafler P-225 Pro Power Amp, looking for any vibrations or other anomalies. We then further auditioned with a myriad of our difficult to reproduce 'test' CD's. Entire cabinet has been frequency swept while being powered by our Hafler test amp.......
 Includes our standard 30 day limited speaker warranty ( & excluding problems due to under / over powering)

SHIPPED TO HOUSTON TEXAS

A later version of the famous "The Advent Loudspeaker" speakers series, the Advent "Legacy's". Great looking and sounding 2-way speakers. Very accurate!!!
 
Our speaker tech has completely gone through and 'Certified' these. Speakers were entirely disassembled. Woofer surrounds just replaced with new foam for trouble-free service. Our tech has completely tested all drivers, then re-assembled with their original and adequate gasketing material under all driver frames to further reduce any possibilities of vibration or acoustic anomalies, and tested with recorded material, PN and swept them with our AF generator from 20-3kHz. Following, of course our normal barrage of 'pink noise' and an AF sweep from 3k down to 20Hz, our demo cuts ran the gamut from Dire Straits, 'Brothers in Arms', Donald Fagen's 'I.G.Y.', TLC's 'Scrub' from the CD 'Fan Mail', (
they did very well at reproducing the 'sub-bass' notes at 1'33" & again at 1'44"), Allison Kraus and Union Station, our 'Usher Speaker' demo CD (no, not that Usher), Nickel Creek's, "When in Rome" from the CD, "Why Should the Fire Die", and a few others, all digitally recorded and some 'DDD'.

Cabinets cleaned, then had a coat of Howards 'Restore-A-Finish' and 'Feed-n-Wax' rubbed into the 'real' teak wood veneer and are in great shape with minimum normal wear (see above photos). Grills including grill frames and cloth in great condition as well with only very minor knit holes and a small 'postage stamp' size discoloration (see photos above). Grill frames 'break free' and all 8 locating pins in original 'intact' condition. Overall, the speakers look and perform great!
