I finally am getting around to a set of A25s but need some input. I typically check all my purchases with an ohmmeter and a 1.5 or 9v battery. The battery just to see if the connections are working.
So, one speaker doesn't pass the battery test until I set the control to the most counter-clockwise setting, however, checking the reading on both speakers I get the following readings..from the most CCW position to the most CW position.
Spk 1 : 7.4, 7.0, 7.1(normal position), 7.4, 6.9
Spk 2 : 14, 7.2, 8.5(normal position), 7.3, 8.9
Both speakers work, although I have not pushed them yet. I did run the control up and down maybe 30 X each, so I'm set at what I'll call +1, because those values are so close. Sound is tentatively ok. I need to clean the control so it works normally.
So these need a little work, played hell getting the first grill off and need the following info. I will reinstall both with velcro later!
I thought of trying to fix these up going thru the slot port, but realize the insulation would prohibit that. I believe the caps are 5.0, so I got some 5.1 from PE, and I need to tighten or replace the binding posts on both speakers.
Is there an easy way to remove the woof from the black goop they used way back? I think that is going to be the hardest part of the whole project!!

Mine are the Scanspeak version with the vent on top. I even removed the staples from the vent and used stainless screws on it as well as the drivers...they look pretty sweet.
