Yeah.

I think mine are the Advent A4s. I cant get to the back to 
verify the model. From the pix of the 2002 on ebay you have 
a later version of the "large" Advent that revolutionized 
speakers and are the good ones. I refoamed mine about 3 1/2 
years ago. I got the proper foam for that model from 
somewhere in Florida for around $20/pr. Now around $27.00
