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

I strongly disagree with the statement the 1.4 is 95% of the C1 as well as the statement they have better bass than the C1.

To me, the 1.3SE is better than the 1.4. The C1 is in a completely different level---as should a speaker that is over 2x the cost. The midrange is leagues more transparent and the Esotar 2 tweeter shines handily over any other Dynaudio monitor.

However, you need to audition both and decide yourself.

Jax- i owned the 1.3SEs, auditioned the 1.4s with a buddy who owns SEs as well. neither of us purchased 1.4s. ymmv.

the 1.3SE was a fav of dyn engineers and was one monitor on steroids.

now, admittedly i upgraded to C1s much later.
