Dynaco A-25, the Large Advent, and JBL Century L-100: which one nad the best sound??

A few members claimed they currently own or owned a pair of vintage speakers.  Of the following vintage speakers: Dynaco A-25,  Large Advent,  or JBL's L-100 Century which in your opinion had the best sound

. 

*****SIDE NOTE****:.....: Does anyone know who manufactured the "orange fried egg"  tweeter   used in the Large Advent speaker??  Could it be replaced with something better, or much better?? I have a friend who wants to modify a pair of the Large Advents and give them to his son.......    Thank you

I owned both Dynaco A-25 and large Advent at one time in the distant past, but heard the JBL L-100 many times in friends' systems. I know I liked them all and would have been happy with any one of them at that time. As faded as my memory is I believe I might have liked the JBL the best...??? Best, Rob

The JBL L-100 Century was my first pair of real speakers.  IMHO, one the best rock-n-roll speakers ever made.

Wish I still  had them...

2 pairs of large Advents, stacked are even better  HP in TAS loved them.  The JBL's are great for rock but not so much for Jazz or Classical.  The JBL doesn't need too much power to drive them where the Advents and Dynaco do.  If you like all kinds of music, the large Advents would be the best bet.
