These are in the condition collectors are looking for, The utility cabinets are excellent and so are the woofers/fried egg tweeters. They are in such a well preserved condition and highly sought after, by Advent fans! These are 45 years old and look like they have been in a time capsule.
These are in unbelievable all original condition and were professionally re-foamed by Chasrock Services. The high quality surrounds were provided by none other than, Mr.Rick Cobb The voice coi...ls were aligned to a 30 Hz tone to insure the best possible sound.
All original grills, unrestored cabinets and original drivers. Please look very carefully at all the pictures these are NICE!!
I still believe that the Large Advents are dollar for dollar the best value in a vintage loud speaker. I have cut and pasted another opinion about the reputation and sound quality of these. Double them up, add power and the magic begins! I always have a set doubled up in my studio and enjoy shocking the audiophile snobs and non-believers. I would have to say that Chasrock Services has sold more Large Advents on eBay than any other user. It is because I really believe in their sound quality and great value. They were also my first pair of " HI-Fi " speakers in the 70's and I still enjoy listening to them. I have cut and pasted another review that shares my same thoughts and opinion.
"The original Large Advent speaker is one of the worlds best sellers and a true value in the audiophile arena. These are the original Large Advents that became so famous. Even today it's still considered one of the best sounding speakers ever made. The designer, Henry Kloss, had a knack in designing speakers (called voicing) with great sound and his home run was confirmed by the entire audio world. Even Stereophile payed homage to the Large Advent as it was listed in their top 100 products in the last 40 years article. The Absolute Sound magazine further disrupted high end audio when they published an article about Double Stacking Advents that beat out the sound of several high end speakers costing 10 times as much! What fun audio was back in those golden years."
Chasrock Services is proud to be:
( ISTA 6-FEDEX_A Protocol Certified )
This is a registered certification in electronic packaging.
We are approved to safely ship any electronics up to and including 150 lb. packages.
The ISTA 6-FEDEX A Protocol is an earned certification.
This is achieved by packaging and shipping electronics to the FedEx packaging laboratory, in Collierville, Tennessee
They put that package through rigorous testing including the following:
Shock Test: (10 random drops from 30 Inches)
Compression Test: The package is then tested in a press at 976.94 lbs. of pressure.
Vibration Test: The package is then put on a vibration table and violently shaken for 45 minutes.
You must pass all three tests without any damage, cosmetically or functionality.
These will be double boxed, surrounded in foam to insure safe undamaged delivery to your home or business. Yes, the shipping cost is a little high, but electronics are fragile and do require a lot of packaging and time to get them done right. I think it's worth a few extra bucks, because they can't be replaced. A note for you eBay global customers: ( I will get it to your door safely and insured.)
P.S. My posted shipping price is always the total!
I pride myself on extreme over protective packaging. (Please see my feedback!) I will only ship to the 48 contiguous states and I encourage eBay global shipping. Payment is expected in 48 hours of purchase and on the same token they will ship on the next business day. If you need more time, just send a message and we will work something out.
