Tannoy D700 vs. McIntosh XR250


Hello members of AudiogoN. I am new here and am looking for some help choosing between Tannoy D700 and McIntosh XR250 speakers. I recently met someone that has both of these and I was thinking about buying a pair off of him. If you have any experience with ether of these I would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks,
Jackson

Thanks for the responses guys. Mechans, what Tannoy's did you have? I am thinking I can pick either one of these up for about $1000, would that be worth it? I am under the impression that the technology has greatly improved in the last 20 years and my money might be better spent on a more modern set. For example, there is a set of dynaudio Contour 2.8s for sale in my area for $1800. Would something along those lines be a better investment? Is there something else that you guys would recommend? Also, you should know that I will be using my McIntosh C28 and MC 2505 as my preamp and amp.

Thanks for you help.
