Can someone tell me which Advents these are? And are they Good Advents?

How do they compare to lets say, The Smaller Advent? Thanks..

not as magical as OLA/NLA or Smaller Advents. I prefer many Jensen era advents to these! Still no PM back to me.. O well!

I had a line on a pair and what I found out is that while they were not sold in large numbers, they were massaged by the Advent kahuna himself - Andy Petite/Kotsatos - to voice the same as the standard "The Smaller Advent". Supposedly the twin tweeters are Sanyos that Andy found to be the best at this task.

I recently got some Advent /2's in the molded cabs, s/n 06171 and 43136. I discovered that there seem to be at least 3 different crossover designs - see attached. The third design "other/2" was shown on ebay. Was Advent constantly tweaking with the values to get them to sound a bit better? Does anyone have a value for the "?" value cap on #06171? Does anyone have an opinion on what of the three sounded the best? Of the two I have, the 061710 sounds the best to me. Finally, the /2's woofer seems to get good reviews, but the biradial tweeter arrangement not so much. However, the same single tweeter in the Advent /3's is lauded for its behavior. Has anyone tried going with one tweeter in the /2's using the /3 tweeter xover network? I certainly don't expect miracles (just playing around) but would appreciate any thoughts. Plus the white cases are very groovy.
