Have you had a chance to audition these two models side by side in the same system? I'm considering upgrading my Dyn S1.4s to one of these two. I've heard the Special 25s which I love. I haven't heard the C1s yet. I like the more conventional looks of the S25s better. Did the C1 do anything better than the S25s in your opinion?
Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend running Dynaudio products (especially the S25s) with the tube amps you mentioned. I tried the S25s with tube amps of similar power/current and they were unable to make the S25s sound excellent. Switched to the Sim W5 and a Musical Fidelity offering (forget which one) and the magic was back.
