Does the Advent speaker corp still exist?

if you do a simple search on Google i think you will find the answer is no

The name still exists, but with no personnel ties to the original company.

Advent was originally started by the late Henry Kloss. This company was eventually bought by Beatrice which became Esmark. In the 1980's the Esmark audio companies were spun off as International Jensen Inc. IJI originally consisted of Jensen, Advent, Phase Linear, and the automotive OEM speaker business, and component businesses. In the 1990's IJI went public. In the mid 1990's IJI was bought by recoton, and the OEM, and component companies were spun off as IJI. The Advent line and its design continued under Recoton ownership, but eventually became solely sourced overseas. When recoton went out of business the brand names were picked up but no personnel went to the new owners.

So in short, the name still exists, but the personnel/design change stopped with Recoton ownership.

PS: AS an addendum to the above or for anyone who wishes to know, we in the audio business and those few who got to know him (or at least had dinner with he, Saul Marantz and Jon Dahlquist one night) knew him as a modest man of surprisingly modest means. He placed purity in sound reproduction over profit. His Advent loudspeakers were truly incredible speakers. We sold them against ANY other speakers even near their price range ($112.00 ea. retail in '75). When stacking them up against more expensive speakers we literally stacked 'em - two sets of Advents, woofer to woofer to challenge some of the most expensive speakers of the time. Nothing could approach the Advents in their price range, and it took going to DQ 10's or Infinity 2000A's before one could beat the stacked Advents and then you were going way out of the Advent price range (DQ 10's in those days were $400 a side).

This article has inspired me to obtain a pair of them and give 'em the old A / B comparison against today's speakers. Perhaps I'll look up this article at that time and report on how they do...

What is non-examples of homeostasis?

Homeostasis is defined as any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival.

An example of being out of homeostasis would be to have diabetes. That's when your body is NOT making enough insulin. That would be out of homeostasis because your body's not making everything "just right". People with diabetes have to test their blood to see what their sugar level is, and self-administer shots of insulin to balance their levels.

Does the NAACP help white people also?

The NAACP was created by white people and was once a good organization that helped many. Today this organization is corrupt. If you are white you will be lucky to gain any help from them.

instad of trying to make Colored people superior which in this country the blacks and mexicans out number white people by a lot. Why cant they do the advancement of ALL people. I would like to see equality rather than superiority. I don't understand why this group and groups like the black panthers are still around and not considered a racist group when a group like the KKK (which I don't agree with either they are cowardly) is super racist. But they believe in the same thing kinda. The superiority of white people. NAACP believe in the superiority of black people and to a lesser extent mexicans
