It was a one-way design ( 4" cone ) with a contour network and it came in a white plastic enclosure. I have never heard as good a speaker in its price/size class, and it was discontinued ( along with its companion FM mono radio receiver ) when Advent went out of business. Does anyone know of anything comparable that is available now? Has anyone tried building a project similar to it? One of the tricks Advent used was a low-efficiency driver for extended bass ( one review measured 70 hz., probably "Audio" magazine ). Maybe many of the net.audio users own this speaker and would like to comment on its performance. Steve Lindell
