Energy C5 or C500


The 500's are the replacement for the 5's but my research is telling me they are actually a downgrade.
I can only audition the 5's, so I can't compare for myself.
The 5's are used but perfect and $75 cheaper.
Can you clue me in on stregnths and weaknesses of both?
I have an Onkyo 805 (130wt) so power is not a problem.
Thanks much.

Yes, I saw those 500's at AA, the used 5's are $350 and no shipping cause a reord store in town has em.
I know that isn't a good enough discount for used, if they are basically equal speakers.
I read a few posts that said the 5's were a better speaker and the 500's were lighter and cheaper....cheaper in price compared when new.
Anyone know both of these and have advice to give?
Thanks for your input Johnny.
