My advice would be to stay away from an SCA-35. I have one, and it does not have enough power (maybe 9 watts per channel) to drive A25's let alone the less efficient A10's. For Dynaco tube, I would not go lower than a Stereo 70, which will really set you back. The good new is that Dynaco speakers work great with solid state, so any good 25 or 30 watt receiver, or amp will drive them well. Amps and receivers in this power range a common and not sought after, so it won't take much to get them up and running. Much more power than that and you run the chance of overpowering the woofers, but 50-60 watts should still be fine if you are judicious with the volume. No Telarc 1812!
