Your Help Choosing Speakers needed

Neither. For years I used a 2216B in a similar sized room with CD as a source. Given that LPs will sound less loud than a CD player at the same volume, there are limits to how loud your system will play.

I ultimately tried many different speakers with the 2216B and the best sounding results that I had were with Omega 3I ($500 list) and Wharfedale Diamond 10 series ($300 list, discounted on Music Direct).

The Marantz 'baby' receivers are prized for sounding tube like. I found that both the Omegas and Wharfedales took advantage of this, while providing a good amount of detail.

The Dynaco A-25 is a superior loudspeaker and will achieve reasonable
Sound levels with your 15 watts per side.

This loudspeaker is a classic with nearly a million pairs sold since the 70s. I do not recall Marantz ever manufacturing an outstanding loudspeaker at any price point.

If you are determined to pick up one of these sets of speakers I'd say go for the Dynaco. That said, you should keep looking and wait for something a little newer to come on the market.

Best bet is to search AudioGon and Usaudiomart. You can search both sites by location as well as price point. You can do much better IMO.

Keep in mind that the Elac speakers, designed by Andrew jones, will be released very soon. I'd wait for those...
