Well, I am a convert! Johnnie Rutan spent time with us last Friday, and we ordered a pair. One problem-the looooong wait for delivery. I am sure, however, that we made the right call, and the wait will be worth the agony. Had considered Focals, but in the end Vandersteen ruled.
I bought 5a off John and I never regreted it, he takes care of his customers and the speakers where wonderful had them for many years. He is also one of the best people to set them up which is equally important.
Have Rogue magnum 99 pre, Classe DR5s in mono, MMF 7.1 tt, and Marantz 8001 SACD player. Replacing my beloved Snell CIVs. Did not listen to the 5A carbons, with the recent price increase for 5As (now nearly 19K) this was all I could manage.
