Cheap Thrills Dynaco A25 vs Sound Dynamics300ti?

Forget any model of Sherwood other than the 7100 or 7100A. I've tried the bigger units with only the 7200A coming close. The 7300A is big and brash. The quad units and later units sound like... well a cheap solid state receiver. The 7310 is awful sounding. I like the advice of replacing the tweeters with a more open sounding tweeter. It has to match the impedance, sensitivity, cross-over characteristics, etc. for it to work. Do you know it the Morel MDT20 matches the necessary criteria. Thanks

I bought the Morel tweeters from Madisound.The folks at Layne Audio provided an upgraded crossover to balance the system. The stock A-25 (scanspeak) tweeter is great in it's own right. The Morel has better extension and openness. Thanks for the advice on the different Sherwoods.I have never tried the 7100 series, but you're right about the 7310. It was very constricted and unnatural. My Marantz 2220B is much more relaxed and tube-like.I would have probably kept the standard Dynaco tweeters but the seller sold me the pair with a tweeter blown and the guys at Madisound told me that they have had some A-25 customers having good results with the Morel MDT-20 as a replacement. They are $50.00/pr.I just modified a pair of AR-2ax speakers with a kit from Layne Audio which replaces all drivers and crossover parts. It required some cabinet mods to accommodate the new midrange drivers( a real pain) but it was worth it.An amazing transformation. They are much better than the Dynacos, so they are now the new bedroom speakers and the Dynacos are going into my son's bedroom. Total kit was about $175.00. I paid $100.00 on an Ebay auction for the stock AR-2ax so a total investment of $275.00 has provided a speaker that is extremely musical.Much better than the stock AR-3A's which is what I was first considering.For those who own the AR-3A speakers, Layne Audio has an upgrade kit for it as well.Website is www.layneaudio.com,but they don't answer their e-mails. You'll have to call them direct and hope you get through. You'll probably talk to Steve who is a great guy.

Well, Fleshler. I couldn't resist trying one out. I just won a Sherwood 7100A on an Ebay auction for $20.50. I'm going to compare it to the Marantz 2220B through the A-25's. I'll keep you posted on the shootout.
