Suggestions please: upgrade from Dynaudio S1.4

I have wanted to upgrade my speakers for a while, but did not have a chance to really working on it. My system consists Accuphase DP-77, Accuphase E-530 and a pair of Dynaudio S1.4. I always liked Dynaudio speakers, and had moved up from their Audience line years ago.

Now the speakers seems to be the weak part in my system (at least price wise. Make no mistake, I loved the S1.4, both the sound and the look) Speakers I considered were Dynaudio's own C1 and S5.4 and was more inclined to the big S5.4 because I mostly listen to classical orchestra work and piano (the lower registers of piano never sounded "great" on S1.4)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I would try one of a couple things:

note: I am a Dynaudio dealer....

Dynaudio special 25 or C1 would offer a significant step up in performance from the S1.4
A really good sub, or better yet PAIR of really good subs in stereo would provide a significant improvement to your existing speakers, and/or work very well with the C1 if you choose to go that route.

Classical and piano can be improved greatly by a properly implemented subwoofer, and while the S5.4 would be a step in the right direction, I think the C1s with a pair of sub500s would be a better end result.

best of luck and happy listening!
