Choice of Vandersteen models

Assume the price for either will be the same. Quatro Wood(not the CT), or the 5 (not the 5a or CT). Both in excellent condition. Don't discuss alternative speakers, other than these two. Which will sound better, which will hold value better. I have Modwright OPPO 105, and  NAD 375BEE amp, 150 Watts Per 2 channel.

You may want to check the Audio Connection website. I think they had at least one of the speakers you're considering used. Having had the 5A's in a room that was 23' X 12', my guess is your room size should be a factor in your decision.

I'm pretty sure the Quatro Wood will have the "tri-woven" midrange driver. If the model 5 pre-dates that driver, the decision should be much easier for you! Then again, the model 5 can be upgraded to 5 Carbon.

Also consider whether you will able to take advantage of the Vandersteen upgrade program; the 5s can be upgraded all the way to 5A Carbons.  I'm not sure if there is an upgrade program for the Quatro.  Worth checking with a Vandersteen dealer.
