Since the Homage was discontinued about the time I got the 5s, it was hard to find anyplace to listen to them. I did find one place on a vacation, though, but the set-up wasn't ideal I realized that one of the main attractions of the Homage, its very transparent and clean sound, is also one of the hallmarks of the 5. But my impression this time around was that the Homage had more colored sound, not to an unpleasant degree, but definitely there. I suspect that if I had them both in my listening room for a while, I might ultimately go for the 5s for two reasons: the coloration of the Homage might begin to annoy my a bit, and the bass is vastly superior on the 5s. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the frequency response is a bit smoother on the 5s as well. However, the Homage was the first speaker I ever heard that passed the cello test perfectly- it reproduced the sound of a cello with no detactable flaws- and I still believe it is a superb speaker. For that price it should be. If someone wants to loan me a pair for a while, I'd be happy to do this comparison more carefully. Fat chance!Joe
