B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4

I've been listening to the 805D at a local deal and have been very impressed by its overall balance and richness. I'm also interested in the Dynaudio S1.4, but haven't been able to compare them side by side.

Has anyone been able to do this? I'm very curious as to how they stack up.

Thanks

Forgot to mention I heard the X12's in Feb and the X22's last month. I have had the C1's for 2 years now.

I'd choose the Contour S 1.4. A very refined speaker, smooth sounding with an incredible bass response. Relatively forgiving for bad recordings for long term listening without listener's fatigue.

You should consider the Usher Be-718s as well. Looks good and sounds great :)

Thuhaile said right words...

I've listened the 718Be a year ago at dealer's demoroom. Impressive speaker. There were some rumours about diamond-based upgrade of 718 tweeter, towards 718Di or so..

Dynaudio is the way to go. C1 is one of the best standmount speakers regardless price.
