That was Henry Kloss's premise; that a well designed two way was equal to or better than a three way, and that an equally good 3 way would cost at least 50% more and would have crossover issues to be solved. The trick, however, was to have a tweeter that could go low enough to meet a 10" woofer at 1 kHz. Kloss fixed that by designing his own.
I can remember my first audition of the Advent in the fall of 1969 at David Dean Smith's store in New Haven, CT. They had the full line from AR and KLH, and so I could compare the Advent to the AR3a and KLH 5, the AR 2ax and AR5, and the KLH 6 and KLH 17. At $114 in walnut veneer, the Advent was as good as the KLH 5 and AR3a at over twice the price. Oddly, the KLH 17 was the closest, and at $69.95 each was closer to what I could afford. A year later, I finally bought the 17's.
