"This was the start of it all. This acoustic suspension speaker, whose heritage included AR and KLH models, was designed by Henry Kloss, and sold hundreds of thousands of units in various incarnations. This was the beginning of Advent's classic advertising style, which deliberately avoided hype and BS. One of the original ads is Here. This was certainly an effective advertising style, and this style carried through to all the Advent products. I've reproduced as many of the original ads on this site as I could find."
