General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

The Dynacos

I haven't heard any of them for many years but when they were in production I much preferred the A-35 and the later A-25XL to the A-25s. I don't recall ever hearing or seeing the A-50. Any of the Dynacos are probably a good bet.

Peter Snell era (pre-1986 or so) Snell Es or Js would be my first choice but the woofers will need new surrounds. They are significantly better than Dynacos, ARs, KLHs, EPIs and Large Advents IMO. The Cizek Model One is not that easy to find but another excellent option. It also used foam woofer surrounds IIRC so they would need replacement. If you luck into a pair of Cizek KA-1s buy them despite the smaller woofer. The molded concrete Rauna speakers are another unlikely score but very good if the enclosures are intact. The KLH 6 and most of the EPIs aren't bad.

With used speakers watch out for inappropriate replacement drivers. There are a lot of idiots out there.
