I had a pair of 501 series II, and thought they were darn good. They do take a little effort to set up with ample wall space on both sides, etc. How hard did you try to give them a fair chance?One sleezy local shop had a pair to demo against and put other speakers tight up against the sides so the tweeters were blocked. Sounded awful! Another shop had a pair of Advents and had the tweeter switch set to Decrease-dullsville!
A good friend was in audio retail in this area (near Cleveland) in the 70's and he's told me all sorts of war stories. He worked for a chain called Tokyo-Shapiro.
