How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1


Hi,please help me about this speaker comparison
I'm audition the C1 speaker and yes, I love it:)
but budget not allow me:( to get this at msrp
the dealer don't have the contour line but it says is close to 60-70%
to C1 sound, will set the speaker with int amp either plinius,simaudio or krell,need suggestion about this amp too
live in apt so will listen at nearfield about 8-9 ft from speaker
regarding the bass in S1.4 same as C1?
Thanks

If you can afford Harbeth Compact 7-Es3 used or new,it will beat contour s1.4 in sound quality and musicality.After listening Harbeths,i miss some nusic information in contour s1.4 .Yes the bass and beats are punchier,vocals and highs very good,but i missing guitars and other sounds impact which communicate essence of songs,music.I was driving contours with the Krell kav500i.
time flies with music faster,passed 9years:)well the real contender to c1 is  discontinued  s1.4LE. It has new capacitors from mundorf.May be it is the reason why separation between  instruments in soundstage is very good in acoustic music
