Dynaco A25 Speakers

My keen eye spotted a local pair of Dynaco A25 speakers offered up locally with no labels on the ad, I recognized them by the backs of the speakers.

Back in 2017 I had a pair of Dynaco A25's and in 2016 I had a pair of Dynaco A35's and now I get this great pair of 25's to listen to again.

 

 

 This pair of A25's are in great shape with all corners square and the grills in perfect condition. The usual sanding and re oiling to cabinets will be in order. I currently have these hooked to my 2 watt tube amp in my office and I am loving them. 

The bass is better than the KLH Model 17's I have, on par with Advents that I have had in the past. I may replace the crossover cap with a new Solen one.

I am happy to have these speakers again and I think they will be sticking around for awhile.

November 11th update, I have replaces the original capacitor with a Solen polypropylene cap and sanded the cabinets, a coating of Circa 1850 Terra Nova Naturoil has brought the cabinets back to their glory.

The water stain is going to stay in one speaker and the small scratches have been smoothed out pretty good in the other.

 

 

Grundig Box 650B Speakers

 A rare pair of speakers to end up in Canada is this pair of Grundig Box 650B speakers. These came up locally and caught my interest. Like the A/D/S, Dual and Braun speakers that have graced my listening space in the past, these are another 3-way German speaker that has the massive mid-range dome.

 

One speaker had a small rip in the woofer cone and a pushed in dome on the mid-range. I fixed the rip and reformed the dome as best as possible.

Nice addition to the speaker experience.

August 18th update, these little beauties needed a repair to the tweeters, both were blown and these have been sitting is storage, I finally got replacement tweeters and these speakers sound phenomenal. Just like A/D/S, Braun, Visonik speakers in the pas the midrange is very open in these speakers with very good well rounded bass. These speakers are staying and match really well with a tube amplifier.

These are great speakers......
