Amazon.com Product Description
Advent's Heritage Series H500 loudspeaker poses a stylish, affordable entry to quality music and/or home theater listening. The full-range floorstanding speaker is sold by itself, so pick up 2 (left/right) for starters or buy 4 or 5 for use as surround and/or surround and center speakers.

Use caution when planning the H500's position as a center speaker, as its 42-inch height will conflict with the position of many TVs; a flat-panel television mounted to the wall above and behind a speaker would probably work nicely. Many of today's music-only surround-sound media--such as DVD-Audio, multichannel SACD, and DTS surround CDs--are mixed with 5 or more full-range speakers in mind, so if you have separate music and movie rooms, 5 speakers is the way to go.

The speaker uses a 3-way design with 5 independent drivers: a soft-dome tweeter and a combination of four 4-inch woofers positioned within the speaker enclosure to maximize their efficiency at the required frequency range for each. With 89 dB sensitivity, the speaker should be fairly easy to drive, and Advent recommends use with amplifiers pumping anywhere from 10 to 200 watts per channel.

Advent also recommends standard 16-gauge speaker wire or, ideally, larger 14- or 12-gauge multi-stranded cable for connecting the H500 to your amplifier or integrated amp/surround receiver.

What's in the Box
A single speaker and a user's manual.

Note: If you intend to use more than 2 H500 speakers simultaneously, we recommend contacting your amplifier/receiver manufacturer to verify the low-impedance drive capability of your equipment.
