dynaudio confidence 5 versus contour S5.4


I am presently looking to bye a used pair of Dynaudio confidence 5 speakers but have only seen one pair for sale since last summer (I wasn't the lucky winner of the auction). I'm getting a bit impatient and considering maybe a used pair of it's younger brother the contour S5.4.
Anyone out there who had a chance to compare those speakers?

My system: Linn genki cd player
Linn Kairn preamp
2 Electrocompaniet Ampliwire 45 watts amplifiers
briged for 200 watts/channel
Linn silver interconnects
Present speakers: BW Dm17 Limited

I listen to a wide variety of music from jazz to classical
but mostly rock (king crimson,Eno,Sylvian...), urban (Tricky,DJ CHeb i Sabba,Massive Attack, Tom Waits...)to name a few.

Thanks in advance and salutation to all the community.

I'm using Gryphon Diablo integrated amp (500W into 4 Ohm per channel). Works quite OK with C5's. However I have a feeling that an amp of 600-800W would finally complete the task :)
