Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

1570s are some of the best...ever seen the 1570A ? Me neither...

But, the 1570A were lighter metallic green, like the 340/350, with wider bandwidth opt iron. The pairs I have seen in print or online were "tabletop" looking without their rack faces. Apparently, they may have sat on shelves inside some Altec racks of yesteryears.

The 1570B or 1570BT can easily be modded for better than stock bandwidth; even with the B iron. They run cool but do have a bit of mechanical buzz when nearby. As they run 400 watts each, turning them on can dim your lights. When it comes to "huge" sounding amps, airy and open sounding with fantastic soundstage, the 1570s are sweet contenders...
