Recommendations wanted for vintage 70s era small bookshelf East Coast sound speakers similar in quality, sound & size to the Dynaco A-10 and the Advent/3. I Seem to be having trouble locating a decent pair (or any pair at all in the case of my most preferred choice, Dynaco A-10s), so I figured this would be a good time to check out more carefully other brands of the era I've always heard about but never had the opportunity to test drive personally, such as EPI, ADS, Boston Acoustics, etc.
