Larger Advents Revisited

Posted by mjcmt (A) on September 21, 2014 at 10:01:48

I picked up a pair of Larger Advents and want to get my fellow Asylum members input to make sure I'm on the right track.
These are version A2 (dates ?) which remind be of the 'Original Advent Loudspeakers' I had on my very first stereo in 1970

1.) At one time the tweeters were replaced with what looks like the Larger Advent 5002 tweeters, which I read is the greatest Larger Advent built.
The crossover looks like Rev2 w/ the gray caps on this website.

2.) As you can see the woofers need refoaming, and I'm about to order this one.

3.) Later I'm considering purchasing the metal basket 10" woofer from Madisound, used in later New Larger Advents as well as the latest Advent 5002, therefore completing this pair as an Advent 5002? Is this wise?

4.) I don't know if you can tell but the grills are stained. Is it best to remove the cloth and wash them?
