Double Advent wiring question...


Hi

Want to run Double Advent 1 stack in parallel.

Just want to Confirm...

From my Carver amp...

I  can run a speaker run as usual to each speaker and then from 1st set of left channel speaker just run from + to + and - to - negative of second set of speakers so I am running a long jumper.  And do the same for right channel of course.
This should give me a parallel wiring and now amp will be pushing 4ohms..

Thx...

I have a stacked set of 1974 Large Advents that I love the sound. I had the pleasure of knowing a design engineer at the Advent company and he told me to remove the foam inserts and fill with a certain amount of insulation, He also showed me how to re-inforce the cabinet inside with supports that really cut down the resonance inside them. I rebuilt the crossovers with quality parts along with the correct foam surrounds.

I have listened to a lot of $5000 pair modern speakers and my Advents beat the living tar out of them. When people hear my system they cant believe my 40 year plus speakers sound that good.

If you do it correctly vintage speakers can sound really good and you don't need to spend thousands of $$$$ to get good sounding speakers.

Don't listen to the audiophile BS that is spewed here by the ones that say vintage speakers cant compare to modern technology.  its nothing but lies.
