good bass is important for me since I am a bass player
Obviously you have your sites set on a good system. The Klipsch is not any where near the class of the others, so I personally would strike that.
The Dynaudio is a nice speaker, but is obsolete, so you might be able to drive a good bargain.
I have never been over keen on the B & W 600 range. I think it is by far their weakest line. I think there are problems with the tweeters of that range for one. There are a lot worse speakers, but for me the 600 range does not rise to the level where I could live with them.
One other issue though, all the B & W speakers and the Dynaudio you mention are difficult amplifier loads, so you will need to drive them from a fairly hefty amplifier, that can drive loads below four ohms. Both the Dynaudio and B & W you mention drop below four ohms. The Dynaudios are particularly difficult drives.
I think if I had to choose from that list, I would go with the Dynaudio, but would drive a hard bargain.
I'm going to recommend however that you save for the B & W 803S. The 800 range are head and shoulders above everything else you have listed. Actually if you have the cash and are looking for speakers, I don't think you really need to look further than the 800 range.
I auditioned 803s recently and they a beautifully balanced and voiced, with an excellent articulate bass.
I and a close good friend of mine with a good ear, have spent several days of late auditioning speakers for the hell of it. There are far more bad speakers than good ones out there. We have listened to a lot now, and the only speakers we have listened to that either of us could really live with have been by B & W and Spendor. There are a lot of really dreadful speakers out these and they are not all cheap budget ones by a long shot.
It was not a time waste for one of the dealers, as I sold a couple on a pair of B & W 803 S.
