A few years back when I was looking for monitors I auditioned the 805D and the S1.4. IMO the Dynaudio is by far the better speaker. Much more dynamic, the tweeter is better, the build quality is much more solid.
Not that the B&W is bad, it's a good sounding speaker - but I think the Dynaudio has a lot more to offer. They do require more power, and they are not as room friendly due to the rear port. They can be too bass heavy if the room is too small. If there is enough room, then the bass hits hard without any bloat, it is awesome.
