Auction Score!

[bullgill]

Scored these last night for $2 at a local auction.

I think they are Dynaco A25's, I tested them and the only thing wrong is the missing grills.

I have to say I like the way they sound with my polk LS-70's, the polks are heavy on the highs and these have decent base and heavy mids. Good combination! The sound does not fill the room like the polks though.

I think they remind me a bit of a pair of acoustic research AR-2 speakers I have.

Unfortunate they do not have the grills but I see you can buy cloth for about $6-$8 per speaker. That is probably what I'll do.

Those Normal speakers keep showing up.

That's odd, I don't see that they have any BASE at all, just the usual speaker boxes. Do they have any decent BASS response?

You done well,I would recap them also.

 

[shelly_d]

You done well sir!

Enjoy them. Like most Dynaco equipment, they sound very nice and are eminently listenable.

I also picked up this Technics cd player with the box but no remote and a Toshiba boombox. I paid $3 for the Technics cd player and $5 for the boombox.

The boom box works with the radio and the tape players belt seems fine but I play a cassette and it does not play any music even though it is feeding properly also the cd player just blinks ( -- -- ) a few times and shuts off without trying to spin the CD. I guess the boombox might have to be sold as is, I was thinking about keeping it a while too. : (

I was wondering if these are actually A25's or not, anybody know?

Like the Acoustic Research AR-2 speakers I have they surprise me, I can jack the base up all the way up and they handle all of it without distorting. It kind of freaked me out seeing that little 10"? cone vibrating like that so I turned it down. It sounded fine though and I could really feel the bass.

I still like my ElectroVoice Model 12TRXB speaker mounted in a huge box for bass, the bass might not hit as hard but it is more present in the totality of the music itself, giving a warm sound.

I have a powered subwoofer buried in the garage, 300W I think. I forget what it is but I were crazy about bass I would just dig that out.

 

[jcamero]

Yes, indeed they are A25's. A bonus is they are Denmark Made, (real wood veneer).

 

[guiller]

Nice score!

I think I have that CD player around here somewhere. I bought it new and IIRC, there is no remote.

Just noticed I have been spelling bass "base" I hate this language.

You are not alone, and I am a native speaker of it.

So am I , I even asked myself if base was right and I was like it has to be because bass is a fish.
