A25 was a very good speaker, the the 300 should sound better, especially in the low end, a place where the A25 was lacking. The rest should be better as well, but the bass would be the 1st thing most would notice. It will be different sounding speaker though,and depending on how long you have listened to the A25's, you may not like the difference. Even if many others would prefer the 300's, you may not. I have decided there is a phenomonon that occurs in humans that I will refer to as "listening path burn in",
and they get so used to a way something sounds that even if something else sounds better, they still want to go back to the old sound, cause it has "burnt" an easy to hear path in theirs heads. I have just had this "discussion", with a person who has owned tri amped JBL L300's, using SAE gear, over 20 years. He thinks virtually nothing could sound better, and claims to have listened to other setups. That is part of where this theory developed. Anyhow, you own or will own two wonderful classics, not a bad thing to have in your life. Enjoy
