I'm unfamiliar with the GMAs, but can add one more positive voice to the Quatro choir. I've been thinking about 5As for a while, but after a recent audition, I can't honestly say that the 5As are superior to the Quatro Wood. Of course, I didn't listen to all material in multiple rooms, but from the brief session, I believe that I'd have a hard time identifying these speakers blind.
Other than the need to listen somewhat louder than other speakers for dramatic "presence" (I thought they were both a bit laid back at more modest SPLs) both the Quatro and the 5A are about as good as I've heard.
Good Luck

PS- I'll probably buy a pair of Quatros next week, unless I hear something (Zu Definitions?) at the LA show that changes my mind.
