Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
These 15.75-inch tall speakers from Advent pack a powerful punch. In a two-way, bass-reflex design, a 6.5-inch woofer in each speaker provides powerful bass supported by a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter for high frequencies.

Frequency response is an impressive 45 to 20,000 Hz. Hook the speakers up to a 20 to 125-watt amplifier or receiver with 8-ohm impedance to start enjoying powerful, full-range performance from speakers that use minimal real estate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic bargain: superb, musical, full-range sound, February 3, 2003

By A Customer

These are excellent bookshelf 2-way speakers, there is no question of that. Their fantastic price (even the MSRP is a good deal!) is only a bonus. Magnetically shielded, rear ported and sweet sounding, these Advents make two-year old Polk Audio, Infinity, Klipsch, JBL and Boston Acoustics 2-ways at twice the price quake in their proverbial boots!
Check the measurements of the speaker box carefully: these are somewhat larger and heavier than most 6.5" 2-way speakers, and they sound better for it. Decently deep (appreciable output at 40Hz in my listening room), satisfying bass and the sweet highs I've come to expect from a well-implemented silk dome tweeter.
I and a friend ended up ordering five pairs of these from an auction site to create home theater systems. Since they are magnetically shielded, you can use them as center channel speakers by putting them on their side. They sound better in that capacity than most $150 (each!) center channel speakers.
We were extremely impressed. Add an inexpensive 8-10" powered subwoofer and an inexpensive dolby digital reciever, and off you go!
A great way to introduce a teenager to "real" stereo equipment: buy a cheap stereo reciever, a CD deck and a pair of these. No stereo minisystem will compete.
