Advent Futura Floorstanding Speaker

At a Glance

The Futura was part of Advent’s 1990s lineup, when the brand shifted from heavy bookshelf speakers into more modern, tower designs. The Futura is a slim tower using polypropylene woofers. This gave it a slightly tighter, more contemporary bass character and better long‑term durability. The soft‑dome tweeter kept Advent’s traditional smooth, non‑fatiguing treble, making the speaker easy to listen to for long sessions. Mid-tier Futura has decent bass for its size, a warm midrange, and balanced sound. Build quality is typical of the Jensen‑era Advent products ie clean styling, decent cabinetry, competent drivers--polypropylene woofers with rubber surrounds help preserve value because they avoid the foam‑rot problems that plague older Advent models. There is some vinyl peel on the backside of one speaker--see pic.Read More
