RE: Advent 2/W speakers

I owned a pair of the white plastic versions (with the silver metal grill) back in the mid '70's. I really liked them. Brighter than my "normal" Advents (both the larger and the smaller versions), but not harsh. Didn't go as deep as the others, but went deep enough for my purposes.

The biggest issue with them in my book was they weren't serviceable. Getting the grill off undamaged was an ordeal, and once you did, the woofer was mounted behind the front panel, so forget refoaming it. The injection molded cabinets were innovative at the time - I sold mine many years ago, and I imagine by now they've yellowed. But the ones Brian has here are in utility cabinets, so none of those caveats apply. If I had the opportunity, I'd buy them to add them to my Advent collection :-)
