Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2


I have always been a great fan of the Dynaudio speakers, went from Contour 1.8Mkii to Contour 3.3. I am thinking to upgrade again to S5.4, however confidence C2 is also within my consideration. Any advice on this? Has anyone compared the 2 and can comment on whether the improvement justifies the price difference (about $2k for used pairs).
I am using sometimes Sonic Frontiers Power 3 monoblocks and sometimes McIntosh 501 pair to drive the speakers.

From what I've seen in the classifieds, used 5.4's have been selling for around $5K... and used C2's are only another $1,000 or so. Go with the C2's now and save up for C4's!
I have my C4's in a well treated 15' x 21' room. I don't think a 13' x 15' room is large enough to let the C4's breath, as they really need to be pulled away from surrounding walls to sound their best. If you want to stay with Dynaudio I'd look at C2's or C1's with a nice subwoofer. Both of your amps would work fine either way.
