If by mini advents you mean Baby Advents, then sure, for the cost of a foam kit, about $13 they'll work pretty well.
I refoamed and recapped one set, I'm just starting to refoam another, and the caps just came in from Parts Express. I bought both foam kits from Rick Cobb.
Now, they may not be the finest spks but depending on where you use them, they do a pretty good job!

There are both Mini Advents a couple of flavours of Baby Advents. The Mini were the smallest ones.

If you do the work yourself and for just the cost of foams, yes they are worth it. I had a set of the Mini and for the $4 they cost me they were just fine.

Ths364,
Are you aware there is also a crackerjack speaker guy in Austin? Maybe you don't need him or are already aware of him. I just wanted you to know about him in case you didn't. Mike at Austin Stereo can get you in touch with him. (Again, not affiliated with either party. Just have experience with both and have been very pleased.)

Need pix to tell exactly which model they are. If the Advent 2 with the di-hedral tweeter they IMO are the wost of the original Advent series as the tweeter setup isn't very good and the crossover is junk. The plus side it the mid-woofer is superb and the box is quite good. I 're-did' mine as econo-waveguide AK project speakers with a waveguide tweeter and precision cross-over ant they are quite good compact speakers now.
