General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Dynaco A25 or Snell Type K?

My vote is with the A25. That Seas woofer was just magic. Even to this day there are few woofers that can sound as good as that one and maintain the range it does. A perfect 10" woofer design and 1" dome tweeter.

The Snell has a 8" cone so the midrange would be "tighter" but with less bottom end. Not that the midrange is lacking in the A25.

Also consider the kit form over at Madisound. The newer A26 driver is the same just a beefier basket frame making it "tighter". Hey there ya go! I prefer the 27TDFC tweeter the best only because I've built a few of them and they are as close to the original as possible. I have not heard the new tweeter they offer with the kit.

But a speaker that is still mentioned 60 years after it was made must have done something right.
