B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's

I am asked by a friend to mine this question from the generous folks of the group.
I've given him the "go listen" and am asking for the model of his surround receiver to add to the post. But in general, can anyone give their impressions of these two?
Also, if there is a relative vg cond used market here, what other speakers would exceed the performance of these two in that price range.
Primarily, as I do not know that he will buy or have shipped anything used, comments of comparison on these two would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Howdy,
wondering as I've been looking on A-Gon, how do the M series DynAudio's compare? They were $16k available for $8K.
Also the PSB Platinum T8 is on his short list.
he's not heard them yet, but I am wondering if having two tweeters wouldn't smear the the instrument imaging.
Anyone heard these?
Thanks for the information so far.

Hi, me again.
He has a SunFire TG3 surround receiver.
They wanted $10K for the C2's, and $8 for the 803D's.
Turns out he thought the Dynaudio's were all better except for the Diamond tweeter in the B&W 803D's.
So what does $6K to $8K buy someone used these days?
Some of the (spelling?) Von Schweekert (?) 4's compare?
Thanks

JMCGROGAN, what would you say were the comparatives between the Dynaudio and the Von Schweikert JR4's?
I thank everyone for their useful input.
