However most mistake it for an indoor/outdoor speaker. The 2W was a plastic version that was supposed to be a modern-looking speaker. The 2 and 2w are known for being excessively bright, and bounce HF everywhere with the tweeter array. It was touted as being "large advent sound in a small box" but was actually a very sad representation. Corners were cut in the manufacturing, including the cheap paper tweeters, and poor crossover design. The 2 series was meant to be the poor man's advents. The "Spitwad" dust cap is stock and critical for the response of the woofer The woofers were a 11" basket using a 9.5" woofer. The smaller advent is a fine speaker and sounds similar to the LA while taking up less space. The smaller advent was a 4 ohm speaker, and the only 4 ohm speaker of the original line. Available with red or green fried egg tweeters. There were no cabinet variations like the original large advents had, only the utility style. Here's a link to StereoPhile's review on the smaller advent Here's the article that brought the double stacked advents to prominence: This allowed for a higher excursion and therefore a greater low-bass extension. The woofers have a 12" basket, but have a 10" cone sunk into them with the use of the Masonite ring. Green fried egg tweeters are rarely ever seen on these, but they do exist. They all have Masonite woofers and grill spacers. If you have a steel connector plate on the back of the cabinet, they are the 1st model from 1969. The utility was the most common being it was affordable, but the walnut definitely looks better.
