Blade vs S5 vs Avior vs Hansen's Prince E's

Was supposed to be S5 not M5 as in previous post.

So yes, how is anyone supposed to make a decision when a proper evaluation is next to impossible???

Maybe choosing the dealer rather than the brand???

Avior was my choice and would unhesitatingly recommend the same one year down the road

You have many speakers that all sound very different to my ears, you need to go listen to them, take up the previous posters offer. Fly to NYC and spend a day or two listening to all of them and decide for yourself!

Yyzsantabarbara,

What did you think of the model T's

I think they sound damn good for the money, just wish they were better looking.

Off to the Montreal show, its in 10 days or so.
