Hey folks,
I just picked up a pair of Advent Pearls that are missing the bracket mounts and the face covers.
Found them at a thrift shop for 8 bucks apiece, so I didnt complain much.
They don't need the brackets, and some hardware cloth and tin snips will get me some decent covers, and I can say they're the best sounding speakers I've ever owned (not saying much, I'm not a very rich man).
What I really miss is the specs for these particular models.
There is nothing printed on the back, like the usual ohms and watts, but there's not even a model number or anything; just 'Advent Pearl' and some 'Tested by' and 'Inspected by' initials.
The speakers inside don't have anything but manufacturer markings printed on them, and my multimeter tells me 5 ohms.
There's a crossover inside, so that may skew the mm a bit, but what I'm after is hard info.
Anybody have any specs on these, like dB/W, power handling, frequency response, etc.?
There is absolutely nothing on the 'net about these things, which is rather unusual.

You might have a more recent model of an Advent 5" mini-speaker.
Here some reading of the bigger 9" vintage brother.
