Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice
Or you could keep the vintage vibe and stay old-school with a pair of Dynaco A25s. They are from the same era as the Scotts and are legendary. I run a set every now and then, and always hate to un-hook them.  Should fit the room very well. They ar...

@jallen: Respectfully, I’d rather not go down this road.  I don’t think it fair to disclose someone’s identity in this thread. When the time comes, I (we) would disclose it to a potential buyer if appropriate.  You can DM me if you feel it importa...
