I have no doubt that a good sub can do wonders. I am just saying that S3 + Sub doesn't equal an S5. Depending on the room, a good sub can benefit any full-range loudspeaker (S5 included), but not in...

S3 plus subs will not do what the S5 will do (they will do other things). The most significant advantage to a bigger speaker like the S5 is the extra-moving surface at the power region, typically...

I am a bit more cohesive in my preferences, so speakers like Goebel or any other line-source tweeter with conventional mids/bass are not something that I am interested in.

I never considered...

Not to defend these crazy prices, but did you see the size of this thing? The new S5 is substantially bigger than the prior generations, which were similar in size and construction to each other....

Too much ego. Seen him go haywire on-line too many times. Not a fan either.

Not sure, auditioned them a year or so ago.

Looking to upgrade my A5 to the next level, without breaking the bank. The S3Mk2 was not the answer, IMO.

I am happy and intrigued by the new offering. It gives me, an A5 owner, a path for an upgrade without breaking the bank. The S3Mk2 was not a worthwhile upgrade to the A5, IMO.

S3MK2 was introduced in 2016, I believe. So more like 6 plus years. Regardless, no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. The fact that there is something new does not render what you have obsolete. ...

I talked to alon about it. It's actually an improvement over internal enclosure. "We found out, after we got the laser vibrometer, that the pressure that was...

I can tell you already; they will change one panel (or two) to the “magic” V material, increase the volume of the enclosure by 2.37%, etc. and voilà, a new model! Everyone will go gaga, as usual ;)

A new series?

Sure looks like it could be. But I am hoping for something more "affordable", as my hope to upgrade from an A5 is fading :(

That segment is already taken by Wilson ;)

Wow, these look good. Sure beats the black :| Wonder what the wife will say. One can never predict that...

And then you will complain about the high cost of the speakers...
BTW, Ferrari does not put the best available tires on their base cars either. In fact, a base Ferrari comes with hardly anything in...

well then, now you know, you can sell them buy the Q3 back at a fire sale price, and enjoy the change.

So why did you buy the M3? :rolleyes:

Yes, that was my point, the guy W9TR "never heard of" has more integrity than the known old guards. Let's hope he stays like that.

Most of the "long tenure in the business" reviewers are just guns for hire. Feel free to point me to any critical or even 'less than stellar' review you read lately by any of them.

Funny, we, audiophiles, tend to do a lot of self-convincing.

I don't think the amp SPL can increase due to any ground point scheme change. Did you actually measure it?

A car model? :D

Actually, I found the silk dome on my older speakers more fatiguing, especially at high SPL, than the A5 Be tweeter.

The A series tweeters are not the same as those in the S series. They are 28mm Be dome (vs. 26mm in the S), similar to the ones used in the M series, but without the diamond coating and a different...
