Advent crossover

Picked up a pair of A3s -- the real wood veneer version. Tweeter on one only works when the setting is 'extended', so went in to see what the problem was, and found something interesting. The extended setting doesn't just bypass the tweeter padding resistors, it also bypasses the coil on the woofer, so that it runs full range. I am using the advents in a cobbled together system of all new to me solid state stuff right now (too lazy to move around my real system), so I can't really make any judgement about the sound (other than on extended its too bright and harsh for me), but it seems to me surprising that the coil is bypassed. But for those looking for minimalist crossovers, on the extended setting, the crossover in A3 consists of a capacitor...
