Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

You'd do better with this on Vintage.. but Dynaco A25s will get you there.

Has an 8" woofer I think.

A good speaker with a bigger woofer will usually cost you more than $100 in great shape (unless you luckily stumble on to some 70's ARs or JBL L100s or something like that.. but unlike the A25, they used surrounds that will be in need of replacement now).

The Dynaco is a great natural sounding speaker.. commonly found for right around your friend's price point & it's reasonably efficient enough to use lower powered amps with it.

I have an unrestored pair I play with a 20wpc Fisher integrated in my office & they sound real natural & nice to me.. with more than decent bass.

The original cabinets aren't quite big enough, ideally, for the very nice Seas woofers that are in there.. but for a casual system, i wouldn't sweat that at all.

Many also "upgrade" them with newer tweeters from Seas or Morel (think only a drop in replacement from Seas is still an option), but check out places like Madisound online & see what they have or recommend.

What kind've amp do u guys have lined up for the system?
