Dynaco 350 speakers

soundfreak1

Anyone know these? Very little on the net. Would love some info if you have any. Thanks

Isn't the model "A350"? If you search for that (and spell "Dynaco" correctly) you'll find a fair amount of stuff, like this: http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/dynaco-a-350-speakers.317981/

Not "real" Dynaco, but based on the images I see on Google, they look like they might be decent. Nice Scandinavian dome tweeter (same one used in early Boston Acoustics designs -- I forget which OEM, maybe ScanSpeak?) and what looks like the classic 4" pincushion frame CTS midrange driver (a very nice driver, a version of which incidentally was used by Polk in the "Monitor 9" in the early/mid 1970s).

Might be worth checking out if in good shape and cheap, I'd opine.

These are the 350's

^^ I think that's the original Seas tweeter ^^ if I'm not mistaken - same one on the early Boston Acoustics as you pointed out.

Appear to have a top firing tweeters. Might add some interesting reflected/spatial quality to the sound.

Have to say they are beautiful speakers

If price is good, get them.
I heard smaller dynaco and they were great sounding speakers.

huh == sorry, what I found appears to be way off (though maybe temporally related).
The true A350s certainly look... intriguing. Worth a look -- or, more to the point, a listen, I'd think.

Are you imbibing already, Mr H?

mhardy6647

just Rwandan tea (with milk & sweetener), so far...

"Rwandan tea" is that what they call it now? Doesn't the milk make it hard to light?

Naah, real tea. The dried (or,in the case of 'black' tea, fermented) leaves of the bush, Camellia sinensis, steeped in hot (in the case of black tea, boiling) water to extract a variety of organic compounds -- caffeine, tannins, organic acids and lots of other things.

Goes great with good music, too, just like that other kind of tea -- or so I've heard...
