These are in very nice condition and sound excellent. original drivers re-foamed about 6 months ago. Used them in my home office and sounded fantastic. I used mortite on the drivers, tweeters and speaker connector cups. The bass response from these little guys is tight and silky smooth. Only flaw are the tweeter screw holes have cracked over time on a couple of the edges on each speaker but other than that they are really nice just a little dusty :p. Speaker grills are 100%. $40.00 plus actual shipping from 23322.

    They are suprisingly good sounding speakers. Good price.

    What are dimensions...maybe you could put a bottle of Jack Daniels up next to a speaker. Does tweeter problem affect SQ?

    Neil, yeah its just surface dust, no biggie. No problems with the tweeter itself, they are still held in place nicely, they are actually sealed up pretty tight. I would say 15" high 9" wide and 6" deep......im guessing. i can get exact measurements tonight when I get home.

    Nice price on a pair of Advents. If these are anything like the older Advent model 2002 I have, they are some stout speakers, they should last a long time. Good luck with the sale!

    Thanks...


    correction on the size: Cabinet dimensions are 11" W x 16.5" H x 6.5" D (with grills on). (I was close). Im guessing roughly 30lbs boxed up.
