Advent Prodigy Tower (circa 1988–1989)

Very little is documented about the Advent Prodigy Tower. The model shows up in a single test report from HiFI-Stereo (May 1989, p.49), which measured the loudspeaker and recorded the manufacturer's published specifications. Advent rated the frequency response at 45-23,000 Hz ±3 dB and the power handling at 75 watts continuous, 300 watts peak. The review noted the speaker was designed to work with amplifiers capable of delivering up to those levels.

Period advertisements from 1988 through 1989 show Advent promoting three new "space-saving" loudspeakers - the Mini-Advent, a second compact model, and the Baby II. The ads do not name the Prodigy Tower, so it is unclear whether the Tower was part of that launch or a separate, slightly later addition to the lineup. No dimensions, weight, driver complement, or original price have been found in available sources. What exists on this model comes almost entirely from that one test report.
