Do you really have a source for either one of these speakers? As best I can figure, both models were discontinued 30 or more years ago. I would be hesitant to buy a speaker of that vintage unless I was confident I could rebuild the crossovers and drivers.

I think Airtime makes a good point below about building your own "A25" using the kit from Madisound. It would be a fun way to kill a Saturday and the Madisound enclosures look nicer than the original Dynacos. (Note the Madisound enclosures add $370 to the price, which is fair unless you have a wood shop and know cabinet making.)

You'll likely want some stands as well. If you truly want that retro '70s engineering student look, some cement blocks will work well.
