Cash cow
It was said back in the day that Henry made and sold the Advent speakers strictly to provide a steady revenue stream to fund the development of the Novabeam, his real focus at the time.
For those who didn't live through those years, the Novabeam stood to be a revolutionary product!
There wasn't any "new ground" broken by the Advent speaker, it was just another refinement of several of the speakers that had been produced by KLH earlier. This is not a criticism of the Advent, but it wasn't new technology like the Heil AMT or the Dahlquist DQ-10. It was a good product at a fair price and produced a strong and steady revenue stream to fund other development.
