Marvin the Martian
Ah, stacked or double Advents! I wonder what my old system would sound like if I could compare it to what I have today.
Too bad, there isn't some sort of "time machine" that would allow us to compare the various iterations of our systems as they evolved over time. Hopefully, the improvements in technology and our audio budgets result in a vastly superior sound!
Hi Pundamilla
Ah yes - you take me back - I also owned the stacked Advents :thumb:
We did not know it then but there are a lot of advantages to this kind of speaker array.
1. First you are moving a lot of air at very low distortion which results in real world dynamics.
2. Because you have woofers at both the top and bottom of the speaker array you are loading the bass frequencies into the room at 4 different pressure points. This really works well at smoothing the bass response throughout the listening room.
3. With a multi-driver array like this the ability to fill the room with sound is effortless and you can walk very close to the speaker or move far away and you will notice very little difference in sound pressure level.
4. Folks the speakers literally disappear and you just have this huge wall of sound (with good imaging and depth) in front of you.
