High output capability, large image size and solid first octave response. Drive them with a solid 200+ watts/channel for optimum results.

I recall comparing original double Advents to IMF Studio speakers 40 years ago just about the time Harry Pearson was extolling their virtues. Then for fun we tried comparing single Advents to doubles. The sound was cleaner, better focused and the individual elements in the sound field were better defined. The double tweeters and widely spaced double woofers produce a comb filter affect that seems like a huge sound field but is really a diffuse, poorly defined sonic experience. It's not a set up where listen through and maximum information is desired.
Fortunately, New Advents have closer driver spacing among other improvements. It all depends upon which set of compromises you prefer. Let's recall the specific request:
Side note...and important one...he like Metal and Hard Rock
Doubles add about 5 db more output when using an amp that doubles down, better bass and a more lifelike image size. I'm thinking they would do better for "Metal and Hard Rock". :)
I've used doubles in my garage and at the neighbor's Halloween Party for the teenaged daugther. They will crank much better than singles:
I gave away one pair and today am running singles supplemented by a spare sub crossed at 50 hz. Image is smaller, but as you opined they are a bit more focused on vocal and instrumental music.
i always found that woofer to woofer was the more satisfying setup of stacked advents.

Just the quasi-MTM arrangement.
stacking them woofer to woofer allows the woofs to couple and it reinforces the bass.
i had dyna a25s stacked horizontally, woofers to the outside, tweets to center
0o o0
0o o0
on stands (the dyna boxes painted flat black)
philips clear dome tweeter above 10k balanced at the speakers' front edge on the magnet. the tweeter opened up the top and gave the air missing from nekkid a25s.
