Double Advent wiring question...

Suggestion:  Please don't do this.  PLEASE go get some modern speakers from your dealer and try them.

PLEASE.  That was a great idea in 1970; today, not so much.

I am gobsmacked by your reply.

It is most unaudiophile.

I have already done this and until you hear the results please don't assume.

You really need to get off the modern bandwagon ride and perhaps listen to some unmodern speakers.....

Please. In true audiophile fashion do so.

What a ridiculous reply.

@NorrisLike some speakers...magical on some material and not so on others..

I remember a day spent with stacked pairs of Large Advents in 1974 at a friend's home where we played them one facing back toward his brick wall, and one firing direct sound forward (the top one).  Created a quasi-dipole effect that was captivating.  Listened to "Dark Side" and John McLaughlin's "My Goal's Beyond" with great pleasure, especially the McLaughlin.  This was with a Phase Linear 400 and an SAE preamp/EQ.  Can't recall the phono setup.

I experimented with double Advents ( slightly raised off the floor, top pair inverted, and did the same with other speakers as well ), and although " nice ", they are bettered today by a plethora of modern slim towers by Polk, Infinity, Klipsch, Elac, and so many more. More efficient magnet structures, lighter, faster woofer materials, and so on. Not meaning to sound negative, but the Advents are a " yesterday " speaker. Save money and go listen to some newer stuff. YMMV. Enjoy ! MrD.
