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

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.
