I owned the A5's for almost a year before I sold them to a friend. The good news is that they're fairly priced and have decent low-end punch to them. They work well for modern pop, hip-hop, etc. However, I grew frustrated with them whenever I listened to acoustic instrumentation. They sounded extremely veiled and lacking that inner harmonic detail that makes acoustic instrumentation so rewarding. At first it was a minor annoyance, but over the months I couldn't take it anymore. I sold them to a friend who listens to a lot of minimal electronica and he LOVES them.
I guess they were like a gateway drug. I paid $261 when they had a sale last year. I am replacing them with a $3k amp + speaker combo. You've been warned
