Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2

I have always been a great fan of the Dynaudio speakers, went from Contour 1.8Mkii to Contour 3.3. I am thinking to upgrade again to S5.4, however confidence C2 is also within my consideration. Any advice on this? Has anyone compared the 2 and can comment on whether the improvement justifies the price difference (about $2k for used pairs).
I am using sometimes Sonic Frontiers Power 3 monoblocks and sometimes McIntosh 501 pair to drive the speakers.

13' x 15' room?

Honestly, I am really surprised that you are getting good results with the 3.3. Do you not have major bass problems in your room?

I had S1.4s in a 14 x 16 foot room, and they were great, but completely overpowered the room in the bass.

"I am leaning towards the C2 based on the response so far."

If you are happy with the bass response of the 3.3, the C2 could work.

I would avoid the S5.4 with your room size, for sure. Too much bass output.

Is an in home audition a possibility?
