One of the Advent speakers blew out last weekend. There was a crackle and then the woofer went out. Luckily I have a repair guy nearby. He oohed and ahhed a bit over the speaker. Apparently I have an original set circa 1973-1975, restored a little over the years, but still with the original woofer and tweeter cones. As it turns out, the lead wires to the voice coil were getting old and brittle and something zapped one of them, causing it to break. Very easy fix, thank goodness, and I'll also now have a set of fuses fixed to the speaker wire as a precaution.
Word of advice if you have treasured vintage speakers: get fuses put on those speaker wires!
