Thought I'd get some expert opinions here at CP, know some of ya'll are pretty savvy on ADS speakers. Ran across some used ones on Houston CL but something doesn't look right about the seal around the driver, plus, I was under the impression the 2 series came with 2 sets of binding posts for bi-amping??? Appreciate the input.

    That's actually a rust or corosion problem around the glue that attaches the rubber surrounds. It is supposedly not a problem, though. The 470s were not bi-ampable, but they do apear to be missing the black caps on each speaker's terminal posts.

    For $65, they aren't too bad because you won't pay shipping. But, with Houston traffic and all if you have to travel much I probably wouldn't get them. I've heard 470's next to 570's and much prefered the 570's.
