Trevoroptom - I wouldn't worry about being able to sell the Special 25s - They are a great pair of speakers, but are picky with setup and electronics.
I own the S1.4s, and have heard them rightalongside the S25s with a Sim w5 amp. Though the 1.4s are great, I found the s25s to have more lower-midrange resolution, went a bit deeper in the bass, and had more "airy" highs. The sim w5 is a fantastic match for them.
