This "Advance A" sure looks like a Polk clone at first glance, with an offset Peerless Tweeter, Midbass driver and Passive Radiator. Very much like a Monitor 7. I came across this indirectly, when I found a couple of minty '79 Peerless tweeters for sale at an extremely elevated price by an eBay seller, who says they came from an "Advance" speaker.

Another model, the "C2". Looks like they used foam surrounds

They look more like EPI/Genesis clones (more the latter) to me -- although it's nice to see the Peerless tweeters. Given the address, Advance seems like one of the several EPI/Epicure offshoots. Hampton, NH is just a hoot 'n' a holler form Newburyport, MA (Epicure's original home).
(the green foam is authentic to the Genesis loudspeakers, but the photo above from the Humanspeakers site looks like the drivers are sporting modern refoams)
