I had a pair. They are nice sounding, especially for the small amount of money at which they can be purchased. Mine were not particular with power sources: quality receivers or integrated or separates sounded good at low to moderate SPLs. I think you should buy them and satisfy your curiosity as I had to satisfy mine. They would also make an excellent period setup with a vintage 2-channel receiver or integrated. If you find they are not to your liking, you should have no trouble getting your money back.
Thoughts on Dynaco A25 Speakers
Fellow Forum Members,
Most of you have far greater knowledge about the many, many options out there, especially older gear. I've never owned a set of Dynaco A25, but I have a chance to get a Walnut pair in incredible shape. Not a scuff or corner ding to be found, the grille is aged, but not torn or frayed, and the drivers appear original.
Do I need an 8th pair of speakers? No. But I can get these for around $120 and I don't want to regret passing them up. Every person I've heard describe these speakers say they are special. Can I get some opinions? What is needed to drive them properly? Most of my equipment is tube (McIntosh MC-225, ARC, Dennis Had), but I do have a Nelson Pass designed Nakamichi Integrated and a couple of NAD Integrateds.
Thanks.
