Product Description

Now, with these Advent Wireless Stereo Speakers you're free to put your sounds where you want. Perfect for apartments where you can't or don't want to run speaker wire under the carpet or through walls, these powerful 900MHz portable speakers will broadcast under their own power from just about anywhere in your residence. In fact, they'll receive up to 300 feet away from their source - through walls, windows, and even floors. Their high quality two-way drivers (4" woofer and 1" tweeter) reproduce a full, rich, dynamic sound from 30Hz to 20Khz, so you never get that canned portable speaker sound. Its front panel contents power/volume and left/right/mono for easy operation.

Annoying popping noises.

I've had these speakers for about 3 years now and I'm really not happy them. There is some hissing but that is to be expected with wireless speakers. The most annoying thing is the popping noises. I have tried moving the speakers closer to the transmitter only to find that the distance makes no difference. I thought the popping noise was some kind of local interference so I actually walked all around the yard but the noise stayed the same. I got a warranty replacement of the transmitter because...

Not great - loads of static

I agree with the previous reviewer - there is a lot of static and interference with these things.We actually hardly ever use them for that reason - our house is small enough that we can hear the music from the other room through walls and doorways, and at least it doesn't sound like an AM radio on a stormy day. Also, they do have huge "wall warts" - the big converters (?) on the cords.Finding an inconspicuous place to plug them in is impossible, since all the inconspicuous places are behind furniture...

Not the greatest, and now dead

I've had these speakers for three years now. Hissing, popping, not holding signal-- all that has been true from day 1. And tonight, one of the speakers just would not turn on. The power supply wasn't the problem-- it's something inside the speaker box, and something that apparently cannot be fixed.So my other one will be mono until I can come up with an alternative solution.Oh well......

This product is amazing ...

Amazingly bad, that is. One day they squeal, the next they hiss, the one after that they hardly make any sound at all, and then just when you're ready to throw them in the trash, they work fine. And all this without ever adjusting the tuning (which never seems to help anyway). The only explanation I can think of to explain their inexplicable behavior is that Advent has somehow created a macroscopic device which exhibits quantum mechanical behavior. They should patent it. But no one who just wants...

Buying my second pair

I was skeptical about the clarity and sound of these speakers...we have 8 speakers run from our receiver to most rooms in our one-story home. We purchased these on the suggestion of the guy who installed our home theatre system. Here's the catch: we are XM radio listeners and listen to almost nothing else (our CD's have dust on them!); these speakers work WONDERFULLY with the XM system (or Sirius, I guess if you like that company) - excellent sound and distance. We put them outside when we are working...
