I just heard the w5s at Park Ave Audio in NYC and was blown away by the sound stage and musicality. Andrew (the sales consultant) was sold on them and he’s a n audio nerd. Fantastic speakers driven by Hegel 590. Amazing sound. Imaging and ability to fill the room blew me away. I definitely want a pair. , just need to save, they are not inexpensive and like power.
I'm spoiled now.. and can’t go back.

@infection so did you buy it? |
@brianportugal I saw them in Munich (never heard them) but I was blown away, it screamed QUALITY! |
I've had the W8 and still grieve selling them. The sound is so disproportionate to the speaker's small size it seems like some kind of magic. One warning, you need a serious amplifier as the little rascals are very very power hungry and are a difficult load with impedance dipping to just below 2 Ohm. However, on the right power amplifier - pure bliss. |
