Those were the first pair of speakers I bought. Got them at the start of my sophomore year in college. They did sound good but didn't play loud enough for me on my little Technics receiver. What I really wanted was a pair of JBL L100's but I didn't have the coin for them at the time (1975). The Dynaco A25's were quite reasonably priced back in the day for the sound quality. I can't remember if they had really wood veneer or just vinyl. What finish is on yours?
