Technical Specifications (Original Large Advent)
According to a 1971 review in Stereophile.com, the original model had the following specifications:
• Design: Two-way, direct-radiator loudspeaker, acoustic suspension design.
• Crossover Frequency: 1 kHz.
• Impedance: 8 ohms.
• Power Capacity: 100W program.
• Woofer: 10-inch long-excursion driver.
• Tweeter: A relatively large two-ring tweeter.
• Cabinet: Available in both real walnut veneer and less expensive vinyl-covered "utility" versions.
• Dimensions: 11 3/8" D x 14 1/4" W x 26" H.
Original Advent Loudspeakers (OLA) and "New" Large Advents generally sell for between $150 and $400 per pair in today's market, depending on the condition and if they have been professionally serviced. Models with original, un-serviced woofer foam typically sell for $100-$150, while fully re-foamed, recapped, and cosmetically restored pairs can fetch $300-$500.
Key Value Drivers:
• Condition: The foam surrounds on the woofers often rot and must be replaced (re-foamed).
• Original Components: Pairs with original "fried egg" tweeters and intact cabinets command higher prices.
• Model Variations: The original 1970s "Large Advent" is generally more sought after than later 80s models.
• "Stacked" Value: Enthusiasts often buy two pairs ("stacked Advents") for superior sound, sometimes paying $180+ per pair for working, serviced units.
While some listings may appear higher, the realistic market value for a well-maintained pair is generally under $500.
