Vandersteen 5A's...about to take the plunge

I've been at my dealer for the past couple of weeks auditioning the Vandersteen 5A's and I must say this is one great speaker.

This is the final piece to a new system that I'm putting together. It will include an Audio Research Ref3 and CD7 ( I'm still awaiting delivery on the CD7, it should come next week) along with a Pass Labs X350.5 amp.

In another system that I have i currently own Revel Salons with ML 436's. IMO the 5A's sound better, they totally disappear.

I talked it over with my wife tonigt and she gave me the greenlight to purchase them!!!

I think I'm going to go with the Rosewood gloss finish.
I would like to ask a favor of the other 5A owners on the GON...I want to make sure I'm going with the right finish...If possible can you guys send me pics of your speakers so I can checkout the finishes? please

I'm really looking forward to the 5A's.

thanks!

Jon

I got black figured they would match anything and it makes the speaker look small. I find the funney thing is that the hardest part of making my speaker decision after listening to many brands was what color to get the Vandersteen 5 in.

Jon, when you get them, send me back a picture. I'd be interested in how different or alike the grain is.

Hey Jon, Qdrone makes a good point. Maybe your Mrs. can talk to mine and convince her to let me by a pair as well?
