I just bought a pair of walnut Advent Large from this guy, he refinishes the cabinets himself. I saw an ad on craigslist about a refinishing service last week and thought it might be him when he said he refinished them and when I saw all the speakers he had. He does good work. The Advents sound amazing and look very beautiful.
Here is the refinishing ad: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ele/593718599.html
He has tons of other stuff too.. I'm not sure of all the models though. I know he had a few A-25s, walnut New Advent Large, and some other stuff.
Highly recommended. No association, just a satisfied customer.

Nice work. I got my near mint A-25s for $120 and it included the original boxes. :D

I can refinish just as good. It's actually kinda fun and therapeutic. :D

I didn't know if that was a good deal or not, but I got a good deal on the Advents, even if they weren't refinished... but they were and were refoamed.
Just pointing out that he has good stuff. I will try to find out what else he has, so maybe someone else can get a good deal too.

Seems like there are a lot of Advents on SF CL lately.
These look to be a good deal. $90 and recently refoamed.

Did you see the ones on eBay go for over $400 recently?

Those are gone, bought them and gave them to my dad. They were utility cab New Advents.
They aren't as nice as this stuff though... I kind of want to get the walnut New Advents this guy has and sell the utility New Advents.
I thought the walnut New Advents went for $365 or so (ah, over $400 with the ~$65 shipping). If that's the pair you mean, yeah.. that is a lot. Maybe the description helped? Two pairs of original walnut Large went for $375 for both... ebay is a crazy place!
