I replaced the woofers in my pair of the Small Advents with woofers taken from a pair of KLH's (rubber surrounds) that I bought cheap from GoodWill. Worked perfectly fine! So you could do the same! A beat-up pair of AR's or KLH's can yield a nice replacement pair of woofers - with no change in SQ!
Refurbishing 1973 Large Advent speaker
I am refurbishing a pair of large Advent speakers from 1973. The tweeters and cross overs work, but the woofers are garbage replacements. My question is... Is it better to buy a 2nd hand 1975 original woofers and roll the dice on them or buy a pair of new replacements from simply speakers? Say they are the same price... is there enough magic in the originals to warrant the risk?

roberjerman"Rubber surrounds are certainly. preferable to foam" Some rubber surrounds are of poor construction, materials quality, and fabrication and some are not and the same is true of foam. |
