In Reply to: Anyone familiar with Advent Prodigy speakers? posted by free.ranger on November 1, 2010 at 14:43:56:
They don't have the cache of the original Advent speakers, as they were manufacturered when Jensen owned the Advent name. These were manufactured beginning in the late 80s, retailed for about $350, and the 5/89 review in Stereo Review was enthusiastic about the "best in class" response and tone burst performance etc. I had a pair that I enjoyed for several years with NAD amplification. I always thought their in-room bass response went a little lower than the spec but they are placement-sensitive. Versatile with acoustic music, jazz, rock, but they aren't for head banging.
Frequency Response: 45-23,000Hz +- 3dB
Efficiency: 89dB 1w @ 1m
Nominal Impedance: 8Ω nominal / 4Ω minimum
Cross-over frequency: 3kHz
Recommended Minimum Power amplifier rating: 10 watts

they'll need refoaming if they haven't already had it done
