Advent /1 loudspeakers

The man, the product. Henry Kloss, the man behind the Advent/1, was a pivotal figure in the development of high-fidelity audio equipment. Kloss had a profound impact on the audio industry throughout his career. His commitment to making high-quality sound accessible to a broader audience was rewarded by numerous accolades for his work, including induction into the Audio Hall of Fame. He co-founded several influential companies, including Acoustic Research (AR), KLH, and Advent Corporation, founded in 1967.

The Advent /1, produced from 1977 to 1983, is an evolution of the Advent Large model. From the own words of Henry Kloss about the difference with the Advent Large, he said "it's a convenience proposal. They sound exactly the same". This two-way speaker system features a long-throw design woofer allowing for deeper bass response, and a ferrofluid-cooled, soft-dome tweeter nicknamed "Fried egg" due to his particular color.

The listening session revealed a very well balanced "East Coast" speaker. A well-defined midrange and treble complements the speaker’s solid bass performance. The result is a natural and pleasing sound that works well across a variety of music genres.

Extremely popular in the US when they hit the market, the Advent are fairly rare in Europe and really worth to be discovered. A special mention for their polite capability at doing well with every kind of music. Come and discover them.
