Advent Large New Large Advent
A rebranded evolution of Advent's flagship speaker line, combining a 12" woofer and enhanced crossover in a larger cabinet for deeper bass and higher output.
Overview
The Advent Large New Large Advent appears to be a composite reference to two distinct iterations in Advent Corporation's speaker lineage: the Large Advent (1970) and the New Advent (1977). The Large Advent improved on the original 1968 Advent Loudspeaker with a 12" woofer, a better crossover and a larger cabinet. That gave it deeper bass and higher output capability. Seven years later the New Advent arrived as a complete redesign, with improved drivers, a more sophisticated crossover network and better cabinet construction. According to the available documentation, the New Advent was the pinnacle of Advent's engineering, and it remains highly collectible among vintage audio enthusiasts.
Context
The Large Advent (1970) followed the original Advent Loudspeaker as a performance upgrade. The New Advent (1977) was a full reengineering of the platform. It came after the Large Advent in the product timeline and is described as a significant advancement over prior models. Smaller, more affordable variants like the Advent/2 (1970) and Advent/3 (1972) sat in the same lineup, but they did not share the cabinet or driver upgrades of the larger flagship models.
