Just how good is the Vandersteen 5A?


The latest "Absolute Sound" is out with one of the most rave reviews I have ever seen of the Vandersteen 5A speaker. Has anyone heard it and compared it to the earlier model 5, or to other speakers like the Quad electrostatics or the Watt/Puppy 7?

I got to hear Richard's personal pair at the show in SF a few months ago. I didn't get to spend too much time with them, but I thought they sounded great. He was playing Norah Jones on vinyl. I may be a bit biased since I have owned a pair of 1B's for over ten years. So I like the sound of his speakers. I have spent some time with some Wilsons and they are a different beast. All depends on your taste. I have always felt that Vandy's sound like music. Go out and listen for yourself.
