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

I have heard the 1.4 vs. the C1 in my room with my gear side by side on Dynaudio Stand 4's.

The C1 was noticeably better in the bass and much better in detail and transient response than the 1.4. The comparison was so convincing I would save up to buy the C1's and forgo the 1.4's.

I also had the Special 25's which had amazing bass for their size.
