I started with a pair of Advents when I moved to San Diego in 1970. Later when I read about Double Advents in TAS I added a second pair. Some time after than a staff at one of our local audio stores recommended rolling off the woofer in one of the Doubles to boost upper bass and lower mids. I think that was with an inline capacitor. That was the best result of all.

The real problem with double Advents was the comb filter affect caused by the parallel tweeters. It made the sound diffuse and less clear.

I once was involved in a comparison for a friend of a friend between double Advents and my IMF Studio 2 speakers. We all preferred the IMFs. But what was more interesting was when after the comparison I got the idea of going to single Advents and the result was clearly what I described in the 1st paragraph. Double Advents were a hot item because Harry Pearson loved them. They did have more bass(better?) and a wider sound stage but it was as I said diffuse. Single Advents produced more information.

  That was in the mid and late '70s and I was still learning about the finesse of audio reproduction..
  
  Had someone mentioned comb filtering to me then I would have thought that was to remove dandruff.
