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

Contour S1.4 mainly suffers from poorish tonal (too-bassy balance).. This is a standmount designed for bass freaks. But still slightly better than 805S, overall. Not heard the 805Di yet.

If you could afford Confidence C1, this is the way to go.

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..
