The A25 and clones are a low efficiency design.
The Heco and others mentioned in this thread are high efficiency designs.
Also, in the A25 and clones, there's no horn loading on the tweeter. So there will be a massive step function in the off-axis response because the woofer is beaming at the crossover point while the tweeter's radiation pattern is hemispherical at the crossover point. You will hear this step function at the listening position.
The Heco Direkt (and its brethren) have horn loaded tweeters so the dispersion remains narrow from the midrange through the treble.
