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.

neither- save up for C4s if you want the floorstander. why buy a 2.5 way speaker.

with 13' x 15', the C1 is your ideal speaker. it has bass down in the low 30s for you. try them out, several pairs on a'gon. if not enough, go further up the pipeline.

but C4s are definitely out of the question for you---refer to stereophile review for more information.

btw, note Dyns need 3' or so from the back walls to sound best.

good luck in your auditioning.
