I loved the A25 and A35 speakers, classic sound, but only after they have been recapped and rewired. I never had a pair of AR's to compare them to. Similar in sound are the KLH Model 6 speakers. I never understood the price the vintage AR speakers command in the market these days.

Off topic here, but maybe relevant. I forgot that I had a pair of KLH Model 5 speakers a few years back. I had them recapped and rewired. The beveled cabinets were beefy as hell and the five drivers in a three-way configuration were vastly better than the Dynaco A35's... not even in the same league. I hadn't used the speakers for a while when I delivered them to devotee of vintage gear in San Francisco. I was floored when we hooked them up to his system... the bass response was incredible, truly. It is a pair of speakers I wished I had kept, profoundly musical, with avery deep LF response that no KLH 2-way speakers could approach. http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Board/index.php?/topic/4148-klh-model-5-vs-ar-3a/ |
