In Topic: WTB: Advent /3 Woofer Single or Pair

19 November 2009 - 05:35 AM

Hi,



I’m responding to your post from March of this year so I’m sure you may have found what you’re looking for already. But for the sake of putting it out there, I have a pair of Advent 3’s I’m selling whole. They are in near mint condition with original paperwork still attached. The same old story…no more space! Let me know if you are interested, and we’ll talk. I’m in Chicago, btw. Thanx!

In Topic: Smaller Advents, fried green/orange egg tweeters and serial numbers (!)

Thanks for the info, Doug! That helped put things in perspective a bit. I was perplexed because the cabinet with the smaller tweeter hole and plain baffle had a larger serial number (S 128473) than the black baffle with large magnet tweeter (S 127961). :huh: Oh well...life's little mysteries. Now if only I could find a KLH Model Twenty Three spec sheet or brochure... :angry:

In Topic: Vintage Jensen Model 4 speaker info needed!!!

Hi Kent,

Thanks for the info, and the encouragement. I was contemplating whether to have the woofers professionally reconed (lots more money!), or to buy a surround kit and do it myself. Everything that I've read points to refoaming yourself not being THAT difficult if you have the patience. And I think I do...I've built guitars in the past, and that takes a lot of patience! So maybe I'll go it a whirl. Thanks again. I'll let you know how it comes out.

In Topic: Model 26 crossovers and tweeters

12 February 2009 - 11:15 PM

Looks like a great touch-up job. Now I'll have to go and find myself a nice McIntosh or some such amp for my vintage system. BTW, has anyone ever heard of Utah speakers? Specifically there's a model called the Heritage HSC-1 I ran across for next to nothing. Didn't buy them yet, so are they any good as far as vintage speakers go? Do they compare to anything AR or KHL did in the early 70's?

Any info would be appreciated!

In Topic: Model 26 crossovers and tweeters

Ill just add some model twenty six history......these speakers are from the phono only system (no radio)of 1968-70 and they're really the same as the models 22,24 & also very close to the models 31 & 32. I've found them to be a tough little speaker with solid performance, sounding better then most other two way units having an 8 inch woofer. I thought the pair I had sounded as good as my AR 4x's.

I say that the 26 is a tough speaker because back in high school 35 years ago I gave the pair I had much abuse and they never let me down! You know, Deep Purple at full volume, that kind of thing.

Hi Andy,

The reference to the 22s and 24s helps a lot. I am now armed with more info than a vintage speaker lover should be allowed to have! Man, I love this place!

I should get all things up and running by next week, depending on how fast PE or Madison ship. Have't decided which caps to go with from the choices Kent suggested. Probably the Daytons cause...well...I like the way they look (?!) Nobody will see them, so go fig.

I will post the results ASAP. Thanx again guys :-)
