Why not the S3.
I'm biased I have a pair I use with the Dev 400.
My listening impressions from a year ago were that the S1 (mk1) was like a good bookshelf but I wanted something full range.
I loved the mid range voice of the s3 compared to the s5.
I couldn't afford the s5 which had better bass I thought and I was afraid they would overwhelm my space.
My dealer didn't have Devialet amps but using my own with SAM engaged there is no shortage of bass.
YMMV
Good luck with your quest,
