If anything the highs and mids were too close to call, possibly a slight not to the Special 40 tweeter. They are both well balanced but if you want to spend a bit more, the Contours can compete with smaller floors standers I believe. Not sure about special 40 but the Contours need a decent amp they're decently hard to drive at 4 ohms and the sensitivity isn't great. I'm currently running with a Parasound Hint 6 they sound very good.

From what I read they are more alike than different. Seems the Countour is more neutral overall. Food for thought I suppose.
