dynaudio confidence 5 versus contour S5.4


I am presently looking to bye a used pair of Dynaudio confidence 5 speakers but have only seen one pair for sale since last summer (I wasn't the lucky winner of the auction). I'm getting a bit impatient and considering maybe a used pair of it's younger brother the contour S5.4.
Anyone out there who had a chance to compare those speakers?

My system: Linn genki cd player
Linn Kairn preamp
2 Electrocompaniet Ampliwire 45 watts amplifiers
briged for 200 watts/channel
Linn silver interconnects
Present speakers: BW Dm17 Limited

I listen to a wide variety of music from jazz to classical
but mostly rock (king crimson,Eno,Sylvian...), urban (Tricky,DJ CHeb i Sabba,Massive Attack, Tom Waits...)to name a few.

Thanks in advance and salutation to all the community.

not sure if you're still in the market but i have a set of c5's in rosewood running off of a set of mcintosh 501 mono's. i'd be willing to sell them both if you're in the market for amps and speakers. i'm the original owner of the speakers and have upgraded my amps several times, without question these (amps) have given me what i needed to make the bottom end everyone describes, "jump out of the box"! i've run them in a dedicated 2-channel system and am selling because my new home does not have the room for two separate systems. i have not posted these yet but i will also be selling a sonic frontiers cd/dac - t3/p3 combo, rgpc 600's x2, nordost & synergistic wiring, etc...

let me know if you have any interest...rc
