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.

I like both speakers. The Dynaco's sound musical with any associated equipment. The Heresy's are very transparent but require careful matching (they like tubes) and they can sound lean in the bass. Neither is noted for great bass like the large Advent was. Polk Monitor 10s can rock and have plenty o' bass.

If I had $800 for used full range used speakers I would look at Spendor, IMF, B&W, ADS. You could also get new Magnepan MMGs in you budget range.
