Dynaudio C1 or S25?

Anyone chose the S25 over the C1. I am in the process of upgrading and have narrowed it down to these two. I do hear something different(more musical)from the S25. I have a small listening room 10'X13'. I also want to try a lower powered tube amp ARC VS55 or CJ MV60 with either speaeker. I listen at medium to low volumes. Any insight would be great!

Thanks for the comments! I was just curious if anyone actually prefered the S25 over the C1. Everthing I have reviewed has the C1 on top. As mentioned it could be new speakeritis. I'll take a good look at SIM and Linn amps when the new Linn C2200 comes out.

Thanks again

I did audition both speakers with SIM and audio research power. The audio research was the VT100MkIII. It sounded noticibly better. The C1's were the favorite. The audition was over four hours and I think my mind was starting to play tricks on me. I remember the S25's being worth another listen. I want to try them both at home. I also want to hear the new Linn 200w/chakra. My budget for the amp is ~$3K. Upgrades would continue through the year for preamp. I will use my Linn classik for now.
