Heavily build (52 lbs each) and well damped internally. The Large Advent speaker system introduced in 1968 was intended to 'compete with the most elaborate and expensive speaker systems at a fraction of their price,' and in its time it was. Product Weakness: non as far as sound.For bass hungry audiophiles,recommend sub.
#LARGE ADVENT SPEAKER REVIEW DRIVERS#
Got them home and hooked up and was astounded with their sound and imaging.All these years I thought my electronics was the source of too much brightness.I previously had DCM 12's and even though they were efficient and had good range,were way to bright for extended listening.Had tried older altecs and advent Large speaker with the same results.Even though these polks are probably considered mid-fi, I havent heard anything that comes close to these old classics.If anybody has any raw drivers for these for sale let me know. Purchased these of an ebayer for 75.00.Stole them!I didnt have high expectations for these speakers other than the chatter on this site and the reviews on.

#LARGE ADVENT SPEAKER REVIEW DRIVER#
The woofer section used the same 10' driver from the Larger Advent speaker designed by Henry Kloss. The DQ-10 used 5 dynamic drivers with four units mounted in free air on baffle boards with a cardioid dispersion pattern. The Kloss tweeter could be crossed over very low, circa 1000 Hz, while the conventional domes of later models cannot handle the power and crossover higher up. The speaker components used in the DQ-10 were off the shelf units that more or less anyone could buy. The result was good from the start but improved over time. In the 1980s or so Advent labled speakers were no longer made with the Kloss designed 'fried egg' tweeter and were made with a normal looking dome tweeter. I replaced a damaged woofer on a large Advent speaker.
I get the grills off and everything seems in order except for the odd looking tweeter. I turn them around and am greeted with a off-white grill and a large Advent badge down at the bottom.
