One of the great speakers of all time, IMO.

FWIW, I'm told that these were made for Dynaco by USS in the USA and that they are not so uncommon.

As the original owner of several pairs of A25, A25XL, A35, & A40XL, I'm pretty familiar with Dynaco's 1970s speaker line and with the common variations of the original A25. This pair of A25s is unusual and is different from anything I've ever seen before: it has different drivers and a different vent screen, but has the same crossovers, tweeter level controls, cabinets & linen grills. The drivers are made in USA and nowhere on the cabinets does it say "Made in Denmark" like all the others do. They have never been opened up before now and have never been modified in any way. They remind me of the A25-VW, but in a walnut-veneered cabinet. When played side-by-side with a pair of Seas A25s, the only difference I detect is a slightly extended high-end range. The pictures show one next to an A40XL and the tweeters are pictured next to a common Seas unit. Has anyone ever seen an A25 like this before?

I often wonder the same thing: my TWs make joyous sounds. The sweet Philips drivers are surely a major factor as is the sort-of transmission-line enclosure.
