Can I get some advice on my first and current set up ever

Speakers are always the weakest link and this case that has been confirmed.

I disagree here. Garbage in, Garbage out. A speaker system is dependant on the quality of signal you feed it. For a weak link speaker, the A 25's replaced Proac Response 2.5 (4500$) in my system because they just sounded better. They are very tuneful but not flashy. What shines to me with the dynacos is that midrange, bass doesn't dig too deep but they can follow a tune. They may not be the last word in resolution, neutrality and detail but with a good front end, it will not shame itself. For me, an upgrade is going to cost an awful lot more than I want to pay.
 
You have a nice setup.

Agree with @winters860 post about tilting the A25s back w/ 12" off the floor or getting them up higher to approx. 20" - 22" w/ no tilt.

Mine were recapped already and I elevated them higher,...they sing & do most things right. Congrats on the Dynacos.

Thanks im working on building some stands for each listening room and setup all different kinds of spaces each with it's own distinct sound so each stand will be a little different also.

I do vary much love the a25s

I have since raised them to ear level and wow I though they sounded good before.

And all Thanks to the Ak ers out there who have helped me along the way.
 
I know speaker positioning has been acknowledged. But I'll take this time to say a little more. It's not just the top that goes missing . The bass above the lower points and the lower mid can be a problem also. Two way speakers such as the Dynaco with the dome tweeter that drop into the mid may disperse the those fairly well, and the bottom bass may get around just fine. But the upper bass and mids that the woofer produces so much of may not. That part can make for a beamy speaker.
So if your Dynaco is lacking something is the music, that would be a thing to look at.
