The were acquired by Recoton who went bankrupt last year. The recent Advents seemed to focus on outdoor and wireless. The Advent, Jensen, and Acoustic Research lines were acquired by Audiovox. Other than a news release last July, about new Jensen and Advent products, I haven't seen anything develop. It appears from the news that they were going to use the Advent name to develop high end consumer level speakers. Acoustic research was notably absent in the news release.
