Klipsch vs. Dynaco A25


Putting together a vintage system with an Marantz 2230 receiver or possibly a McIntosh MC2505/MX113 amp/preamp. I'm wondering which speakers, Klipsch Heresy or Dynaco A25 would be the best way to go without a sub, though I'd like some decent bass. I listen to classic rock, 70s R&B and Cat Stevens-type stuff in a small to midsize living room. I'm open to other speaker suggestions, but I'd like to buy used and under $800.

this is a tuff choice (both are incredibly good). i'd give the nod to the heresy. dynamic beyond most at any price, and given the right components, and a small to medium room, it plays 'like you're there'. no deep bass, but whats there is not 'one note' like many smaller boxes.
any quality ss or tube amp will drive any klipsch including fortes just fine. too much is made of pairing with tubes. mac ss with klipsch has long been as good a pairing as peanutbutter and jelly. creek and other integrateds too.
