I stumbled across them in a clearance sale in a retail store, everybody was buying Bose, cause they knew the name. But why bother, if you already have these to appreciate. You can try, and drop a pretty penny, and I'll agree you can find better speakers. Overall, watching concerts, listening to music, configured in a surround system, these speakers deliver! For the price and the overall look and construction of the speaker, it's hard to beat. So if you bought them used and don't know the difference, give it a shot. But, they simply sounded horrible, not like themselves at all. Believe it or not, mine blew once, and the speakers still kept driving. If you say the sounds is just not right, muddy base or all around sound. If you find the mids a bit weak, cross it over with a punchy subwolfer. A good amp and ample power is required, period. If you're having sound quality issues, it's most likely your power source. These fill the job so well! Really clear and clean reproduction of sound. For stereo stand alone speakers, they're perfect to listen to new music concepts, when the studio has just became too small, and you need a new environment to take a listen. As other musicians and producers have visited my place, I've had many complimentary comments to say the least. I have been exposed to a number of high quality speaker systems, and believe my ear is reasonable.

I'm a professional DJ and have done studio productions work as well. You just need to power them properly, and if pairing in a surrond set up, speakers that can compliment them. I've had them configured in a number of ways, some times primarily for music, and others for home theater. I have built 3 systems around them and are content until some major break through comes. The quality value ratio argument, was never there to make the move. I haven't looked for speakers in a few years, because I gave up on replacing them. I think, I may have used my set for 20 years now! Circa 90-91. These speakers can be bought for a song on auction sites, are a great audio bargain and a real sleeper! Will also be looking into bracing and spiking the cabinets.

I have begun modding the speakers by Dynamatting the driver baskets and will be replacing the old, cheap electrolytic caps in the crossover with new poly caps. These speakers have a ¾” solid pecan front and top with black vinyl wrapped sides and are simply a beautiful speaker to look at. Even though these look like two-ways they are, in reality, three-ways as each of the two 8” woofers have their own inductor and it appears that the upper driver is crossed over at a different frequency. These speakers have a very even and flat frequency response and are very detailed without being bright. In a three-way comparison between a modded pair of Klipsch KG-4s, Yamaha NS-555s and the Heritages, the Advents were the clear winner. After selling the Polks, I needed to decide on which of my remaining speakers would be my “new” full-timers. They’ve been in and out of my speaker “rotation” over the last few years and spent the last year or so on the sideline as my main speakers were a pair of Polk Audio SDA-1Cs. I purchased these speakers used off of CL purely on looks alone to use in my 2 channel audio system. Oh, I forgot the 3 subs! I bought everything very cheaply off CL and saved multi thousands of dollars.

My living room HT/dining room area has four receivers hooked up to PC via distribution amplifier to power unbelievable sound for me ( the Heritage speakers are facing towards dining room where the sliding glass door in to patio so I can crank it up when I want.) My receivers in that area are a Yamaha RX-V1, two Denon 3805's and a Denon 3801.

Every room in the house plus garage (except bathrooms) have their own system with nice receivers for power. I also have DCM Time Frames, B&A, 4 other pairs of various model Advents, Klipsch, Paradigms, etc. They are my second favorite pair of speakers I own but get played the most. My home theater gets the A/D/S M-12 towers which have two 8" subs, tweeter, and a midrange which have a little more musicality in them but the Advents still are great speakers I simply love their accuracy and sealed enclosure sound. Paid $60 for one pair and $100 for the other (sadly don't see those prices much any more).
This is for listening to music when I'm sitting on the patio outside. They are great speakers for music, I have one pair stacked on top of some old RSL speakers (12" woofer, 6" mid and dome tweeter). I have 2 pairs of these awesome Advent Heritage towers.
