Vandersteen 5A to Carbons??

Anyone out there do the upgrade? If so, is the upgrade very obvious, or a minor improvement? ..or something in between.

The big differences you should hear are in the openness as well as the smoothness of the sound. It's just much more refined with better staging and imaging. To me if you are able to afford the Carbon's or an upgrade (if you are an original owner), then it's worth it. Let us know what you think once you do it.
