I stand partially corrected regarding the driver design. Stronger magnets will, indeed, increase the efficiency. But more than likely, it's just the woofers that make up that difference.
Tweeters that produce 94dB is easy, especially with neodymium. The same with midrange.
Woofers are little more difficult. More than likely, the original tweeters and midrange are now able to perform without being attenuated to match the woofers in the Q5.
This is a good thing, no matter how you look at it. Removing or reducing resistor value does help with dynamics.
Higher spl does usually equate with greater dynamics, all else being equal.
So I'll split the difference. I still think the tweets and midrange are the same. Bigger and badder woofer design now help in more ways than size alone.
As far as my musical tastes go, it is literally everything. Which is why none of these speakers find they way into my home on a permanent basis. It's difficult, but I require my speaker to perform well on all types of music.
