New Large Advent Speakers

A friend of the blog contacted me and offered me this wonderful pair of Advent A4 speakers also referred as the New Large Advent.

This pair is pre Jensen and has the fried egg tweeter and the non masonite basket woofer.

They have a wonderful walnut veneer with the famous blunt nose curved cabinet.

Lucky for me this pair has been re foamed already.




These speakers are extremely neutral with the lower bass octaves covered really well. Imaging front to back is excellent. They sound very similar to the Advent 5012W that I had in the past.

The cabinets will need a bit of a re finish to make them really shine.

Stereophile has a great review of these speakers form their archives in 1971 that can be read here.
