History
Advent Corporation was founded in the United States by Henry Kloss around 1970. Its business focused on consumer home-audio equipment, particularly loudspeakers. The company targeted household consumers and became known for seeking a balance between affordable pricing and sound performance, giving it a presence among American audio enthusiasts and in the home-audiovisual market. Advent later participated in other home-audio and video equipment activities, but publicly available information does not fully document its product development, corporate changes, ownership history, or ultimate legal status.
