Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel


The wife has banished my 2 channel audio addiction to a spare bedroom and I need some input on my selections. I have 2 klipsch rf7iis that front a 5.2 in the living room. Pushed by a Denon 4311ci. My wife loves them and won't surrender. My pioneer sx-1080 is the receiver I use for 2 channel and used to power the rf7s . I have JBL Northridge towers as well that I can't stand for stereo. I have been looking at some Klipsch KG4s as well as some Heresys. Looking for some opinions on the pros and cons of each. I listen to mostly vinyl and I like it loud.

The room was a guest room and will be empty. It’s 12x14. will be insulating as well as the wife does not appreciate my Deep Purple at the volume I do. (Especially Perfect Strangers) I’m eyeballing some birch Heresy iis on the Bay and am about to jump in. But it seems the KG4s are in large supply and in my budget as well. Looking to spend about 600.
Yeah the legends are a little out of my budget. I'm looking to image to just one recliner in my music room so large towers are a bit overkill. I like the look of the heresys but I hear they lack bass. I like the KG4s too because I have heard a pair. But not in a room close to the room I have size wise. I listen to lots of Fleetwood Mac to Bad Company and Deep Purple. Wondering which of the 2 would be best for that sound?
Sub is not what I want to hear as I'm running a SX-1080. I don't really want to add another amp. Are you saying the lack of bass in the Heresys is that profound? 
Thanks for all the input folks. I have decided to go with some forte 1s. Located a pair on the Bay in FL for 600. Just waiting to see if the guy will give me a few weeks to pick them up when I'm down that way on business. They have a few smudges and no badges on the dust covers but nothing I can't refurb. Thx again
Got the Fortes on order and can't wait to get them set up. I'm good with my hands and have taken on some repair jobs such as recapping a power supply here and there in receivers. How hard is it to install the Crite crossover upgrade on the Fortes? Is it a plug and play kit? Or more involved? 
The lady selling the Fortes backed out of the deal. IDK why. I'm guessing somebody offered her more than her asking price. I was going to drive a 500 mile round trip to pick them up. I'm glad she let me know before I left for her town. IDK what's wrong with people anymore.  A deal used to be a deal. On the bright side, I found a minty set of KG-5.2s on the Bay for a bit more than I wanted to pay. Pulled the trigger anyway and they arrived today. I'm thrilled! These monsters sound better to my ears than my RF-7iis do for music. As for over paying... it doesn't matter, these baby's won't be sold until I'm playing a harp on a cloud. Then my kids can worry about their resale value.
