Feedback on Classic Audio Reproductions T-5

I've just come off a thread about high efficiency speakers, and I'm looking for feedback about the Classic Audio Reproductions T-5 model. However, information about these speakers is minimal at best. Are there any owners or those with listening experience of the T-5s?

...and Classic Audio has not had the T-5 at any shows that I have attended in the last few years.

Few owners. Dearth of feedback. Little opportunity to hear them. Not a recipe for success.

Have you looked into AudioKinesis' Planetarium Alpha?

Great recommendation! I've heard Duke's Planetarium system and was amazed by the sound coming from those small enclosures (the link you provided shows a Beta version which is larger than the ones I heard which use the same drivers in a smaller enclosure and are currently on his site as the Alpha). They'd be on my short list too. Daedalus would be another good bet for high-sensitivity speakers - outstanding speakers, and beautiful and unique craftsmanship!

Thanks for the correction, Jax2. It was the larger floorstanders to which I was referring, not the smaller multi-box version. I guess I meant the Planetarium Beta model.

These might be an even better option from the Audiokinesis line as they don't require subs:

I can see where your confusion came from because Duke has identified them as Alpha on that thread - on his site it is different though. Sounds like either the Alpha or the Beta would be a very good candidate - very impressive speakers (I can attest for the smaller version). Duke's a great fellow to boot...as is Lou at Daedalus. There look at his Ulysses, if you have the space to let them breathe. Otherwise the DA-RMa are also excellent giving up a bit in the low end to their larger brothers.
