I believe these are just the early model of the A-25. The cabinets should have the same dimensions the commonly known A-25, but early runs of the speaker had the port above the tweeter, instead of below the woofer, as is more commonly seen.
I'm glad to see the plastic grate over the port - I had a pair of these, and I thought the plastic was a cheap replacement for what was originally there - but, apparently that's just the way they were made then.

From what I've seen, I thought the port was on the bottom and not above the tweeter. Also I have never seen the ring around the tweeter before.
Out of curiosity, where is that wire going off to the lower right? Is it some kind of remote?
Nice looking speakers! I've never heard A25's. But if I ever see a pair I will snatch them up as I know they're legendary for their size.

This picture was taken at our last Lone Star Bottleheads meeting. Fredt300b gave me the speakers. They were in fairly rough shape so I refinished the cabinets and recovered the grills. Other than that, they are original and sound way beyond what they look like they would.
The wire you see is going to an iPod, which was the source being used with that Bottlehead 6DN7 amp that was pushing the speakers.

I have both kinds. I don't know why they changed. I think the ones with the port at the top are more rare.
