I still remember how excited I was to find a used pair of L570s buried under a shelf at a Boston pawn shop, covered in dust. This was back in '95 I think, before my income allowed me to spend more time with better equipment. I couldn't throw my money at the guy behind the counter for those L570s fast enough.
I can't say I miss A/D/S - I recall them being a nicely balanced speaker but not very resolving when I compared them to some B&W 704 that finally replaced them, and they sure didn't throw much of a sound stage or "disappear". But I don't think I ever got to hear any A/D/S floorstanders, or anything higher up the line, so I may have missed that boat. I did enjoy those L570s for a while, but now after enjoying other things I don't think I'd want to go back. I'm glad you posted the question...it's nice to revisit memory lane every so often!
