The tech who repaired it for me said it probably was not appropriate driving the load of the Double Advents...
At some frequencies, double Advents drop to 2.3 ohms - a figure not all amps are happy about delivering. I used doubles plus Microstatic Add on tweeters for the 1974 Miss RHS pageant. As the resident audio geek in high school, I was asked to provide the sound system for contestant's music.
The Crown was certainly rugged. During setup under a covered table, I inadvertently shorted the outputs with a screwdriver while it was powered up. It actually lightly fused the darn thing to the posts! Shut down amp, let protection circuit reset, yanked screwdriver off and powered back up. No problemo!
