I believe the A-25 can be a great speaker. It can work well with lower powered amps (if not cheap ones), tube or SS. It is relatively full range, meaning reasonable bass extension. It is good enough that it responds to a few tweaks; upgrade crossover cap, remove tweeter guard or replace tweeter, surround tweeter with dispersion blocs (foam), and solid stands that place tweeter at ear level from the prime listening seat.
But the woofer is a 10" and every pair I've seen has rubber surrounds which should still be in good condition unless mistreated.
Now, search Vintage site for A-25 and you'll find lots of info has already been covered.
