Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Fill the room with rich, full-bodied audio from your MP3 player, portable CD player, or laptop by connecting to this pair of powered two-way multimedia speakers. Each speaker features a built-in 35-watt amplifier, along with 5-inch polypropylene woofers and 1-inch fluid-filled polycarbonate tweeters. The speakers are also magnetically shielded, so they won't interfere with video broadcasts on the TV or PC. Users will appreciate the individual bass and treble controls, which ensure listening flexibility, while the auto on/off power operation lets you leave the speakers untended without consequence. In addition, the speakers mount in a variety of configurations, such as on a bookshelf, atop a desk, or on a wall.

The speakers work on either AC power or DC battery operation, so listeners can take them along to a BBQ tailgater or picnic. Safety is ensured through the aluminum alloy cabinets designed to dissipate heat from the amplifiers. Each speaker measures 6.5 by 10.5 by 7.6 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 9.92 pounds.

What 's in the Box
Two AD570 speakers, speaker cable, user's manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars blows Bose out of the water!, January 19, 2005
Very competent sound for the size and low power output (35wpc on paper but probably closer to 20-25w in reality). Each speaker weighs in at about 10 lbs which would normally be a very respectable weight until you figure in that they have built=in amps. The independent bass and treble controls are a great feature.

I'd compare listening to these to be like listening to a high quality boombox, except that with the ability to place the speakers a lot farther apart you'll enjoy better stereo separation and also less distortion at high volumes.

However for two hundred fifty dollars you could also pick up a cheap Sherwood receiver and a cheap pair of small speakers like the Polk R15 which would still sound better, just look at the jr dot com website.

The main plus of these Advents though is that they are compact and portable (AC/DC operation)...otherwise for home PC listening I'd still recommend the Logitech Z-2300 2.1 system with subwoofer for just above a hundred bucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars AV-570's are Great Speakers !, June 24, 2003
I had a pair of these for a couple of years that were recently stolen. These puppies kick ... . I used them with a portable Sony CD/FM player on big exhibit set-ups in So. Cal. These speakers would fill a whole hall in the Anahiem convention center with wonderfully clear music. They are awesome and everyone who heard them would comment and want some. The only draw back I found is the wieght. They are small but they are heavy. The volume, tone and base controls are a must.I bought some Bose roommates to replace them but they do not compare. I just ordered another pair of 570's and I can't wait to hook them up to the 40 gig Nomad Jukebox 3 that I have since picked up. You won't belive the sound that cranks out of these babies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and High Quality Active Speaker, February 15, 2004
By David Wright (Greenville, SC USA) - See all my reviews
I believe that the Advent AV570 is the same as the Acoustic Research 570 Powered Partners that were made from 1984 until Advent gobbled up AR. I have one of the older 570s. What a great product! AR570s were invented well before every house had a computer sound system. "Bookshelf speaker" wasn't a widely recognized concept either. The AR570 was invented as a compact and tough package to monitor or reinforce sound in recording studios. It has exceptionally clear and linear acoustic performance. The thick cast aluminum housing is both rugged and dissipates heat from the internal amplifier quite well.

That this design hasn't been copied by every speaker manufacturer is a mystery to me. The AV570 is a unique combination of ultra clean sound quality, high output for size, and rugged construction. Buy 'em for your bookshelf, home theater, computer, or ANY application that calls for accurate and powerful sound reproduction in a compact package. I use mine as an acoustic guitar amplifier. I use an adaptor to go from my guitar's 1/4" mono jack to the AV570's RCA input. It sounds better than guitar amps that are twice as expensive and 10 times as large.

Highly recommended (IF the Advent AV570 is the same product as my Acoustic Research 570s)!
