How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1

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.

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.

A friend of mine has the 1.4S and I had the opportunity of listening to it a lot of times, even on my own set up, and I can assure that in general the 1.3 SE is better.
As the C1, the Special Twenty Five is in another league too...it was the one I chose to replace my 1.3SE, however, once more I emphasize that the 1.4S is an amazing speaker...no doubt about that.

Extravaganza : thanks for the info! I like the sound but not the style is to boxy looking:)
hba:thank u for comparison, spesial 25 is good but no luck,
found the C1 but overpriced:(
still waiting

Having owned 3 different Dynaudios including their studio monitor BM6 and listening to almost all their speakers in different demo rooms (excluding the Master and Consequence), it was clear that 1.3SE was their best monitor this side of C1. It was better than 1.4 and some people think it is more musical than Special 25 (I have not heard S25). BTW, my last Dynaudio was a 1.3SE which I used for about 2 years. When I was upgrading, I looked at C1, no doubt it was more transparent and a more exotic sounding speaker. The Esotar2 tweeter is the best I have ever heard, better than any Scanspeak revealetor or ring-radiators. But I still thought the 1.3SE had a more neutral tone. The C1 had more of the "Dynaudio" house sound which to my taste was too much of a signature. Having said all that please do not compare the 1.4 to the C1, they are at different levels especially when you feed the C1 with quality electronics.
