help Advent Large FAQ
When was the original Advent Large speaker introduced?
The original Advent was introduced around 1970 and was later commonly called the Large Advent after the Smaller Advent appeared in 1972. Many surviving examples are identified by later production dates such as 1973.
How many woofers does each original Advent Large cabinet use?
Each cabinet uses one 10-inch woofer, not four woofers in a single cabinet. A normal stereo pair therefore has two 10-inch woofers in total.
What was distinctive about the Advent Large's upper driver?
It used a roughly 3-inch domed paper cone that handled the upper frequencies. Enthusiasts often nickname its protruding dust cap the "fried egg" design.
Who designed the Advent Large?
The speaker was associated with audio designer Henry Kloss. Its acoustic-suspension design aimed to deliver strong bass and useful hi-fi performance at a lower price than large Acoustic Research models of the period.
