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

Imaging is only one of the aspects of the sonic reproduction, not the most important imo...
I have heard the 1.4 and the new 805Diamond, both with an extended listen. I own C1s. I think they are all great speakers, however the 805Di and the C1s are better than the 1.4s. I listened to the 805D with musical fidelity m6i amp and the Krell evolution and they were very impressive - I preferred it the Krell - like Dynaudio they seem to like a lot of SS power. I have plinius tautoro+SA103 with the C1s and I felt that my home system was preferable to me, however, I have found that the C1s took a long time to burn in. I prefer the bass from the C1 to the B&W. In Australia the B&W are a fair bit cheaper than the C1s. Also, my wife really likes the sound and looks of the C1s so that's a factor for us.
read through multiple threads about Dyna vs. others,  S1.4 or C1.   I have a pair of old B&W 802 F model (older than the 802 Matrix model),  and used to have a pair of Focal Aria 906 bookshelf which I sold and regret.. Now I am in hunt for another pair of excellent bookshelf for my wine and vocal time over it through some of my favorite vocal CDs.  

I am a cheap guy always for bargains on used market,  and I just scooped a pair of Dyna S1.4 last Sunday,  it will come to my door by this Friday.  I can't wait any longer..

I love Dyna signature of sound stage and dynamics, and it's mid range and clarity overall.  I have ARC LS15 preamp,  and a Mcintosh MC-2105 power amp and a pair of Dynaco MK3 mono blocks,  I think the Dyna should live happily with both the SS and tube gears.
