Totem The One or Dynaudio Contour S1.4


I am buying a new system and have narrowed the choice two:

1. Ayre AX7E + Totem the ONE
2. Naim Nait XS+ Dynaudio Contour S1.4

My source will be a Bel Canto Dac 3 and apple lossless.

Both sytems can be listened to, but at different shops. I'm sure both are excellent, so no bad choice.

I would appreciate input from those with experience with these combinations or at least the components. How would you choose? Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I really like the S1.4s with the XS; the combination is a clear winner with excellent synergy. Plus, you can upgrade the power supply on the XS when funds permit. (Note: We are a Naim and Dynaudio dealer)
If you go for the S1.4s, make sure you have a big enough room for them. If they are too close to the rear wall, you will get a big peak in the 40-50hz range because of the giant port in back.
Last week I had heard the Naim 5i with Dyn Sapphires and later the super nait with the C2's. All I can say is I'm glad my dealer has carpeting or I would have had to to get stitches in my chin when my jaw hit the ground. Excellent synergy and very musical. Like Nextlevelav stated adding the P/S at a later date would only be the icing on the cake. I did listen with and without the P/S and I will say the P/S made a significant difference (for the better).
I am a Dyn C1 owner (maybe someday C2) and a Naim wanna be owner after hearing those combo's.
My vote option 2
I'd take 'The One' and pair it with the Naim XS. That's just me though. To these ears, if your looking at a set of Dynaudio monitors, you have to step things up to the Dynaudio C1's to give 'The One' some serious competition.

Either way you fly, I'd caste AYRE off the ballet list.
I recently went from Dynaudio Focus 140's to Totem The One's on the end of my Naim Supernait with a HiCap external power supply. I understand that the C1's and even the COntour 1.4 are a step up from the FOcus 140's so I am reporting on my experience.
The Totem The One's are a significant upgrade. More musical, detail and much more refined bass.
