I had a couple of Advents when they first came out. As I remember, one of its features was that the woofer was a 10" cone built on a standard 12" driver frame, so as to leave more room for a compliant suspension. A clever low cost production strategy.
I thought that the Advents sounded good, particularly as a "stacked" pair, which enjoyed a brief period of high end hype. However, I found the midrange, particularly vocals, to be lacking in comparison with the similar sized KLH5 and the KLH 12 (same drivers) which were three-way designs.
