How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1

Hi,please help me about this speaker comparison
I'm audition the C1 speaker and yes, I love it:)
but budget not allow me:( to get this at msrp
the dealer don't have the contour line but it says is close to 60-70%
to C1 sound, will set the speaker with int amp either plinius,simaudio or krell,need suggestion about this amp too
live in apt so will listen at nearfield about 8-9 ft from speaker
regarding the bass in S1.4 same as C1?
Thanks

I have owned the 1.4's and now have the c1's, both with Dyn Stand 4 stands.. The c1's are far ahead of the 1.4's to my ears, in my system and room. I have used Plinius 8200 mkii, Simaudio I-3se, and Simaudio I-7. If you are going to go with the 1.4's, take Jaxwired advice and go with a Krell. When I heard the Krell KAV-400i/ Dyn setup at a dealer, it was a very good match.

I have also heard the S1.4 at length & the C1 a couple of times.
The difference between the two is quite big.
They share that dynaudio house sound but the C1 is more refine and the high's are just more "exotic" if that is the appropriate wording.
I personally would go for the C1 if funds would allow. Its really in a different league.

Hi nolitan,the fund only can buy used one and so far no luck finding it:(
the exotic sound is what I'm looking for and still in my mind now:D
