I went with the 5As for three reasons....1) More bass weight in the 5As
2) The 5As have a quality in the midrange that I just can't describe. Every time I've heard them I've been amazed at the fact that I'm too busy listening to the music to bother with any of the audiophile analysis. The quatros do this too, but to a lesser extent..... and the MOST important reason ....
3) WAF --- My wife HATES floor standing speakers and doesn't hesitate to comment on how ugly they are. When the Quatros landed in our living room there were no comments at all. Eventually, I got a "not bad," and "they aren't as gaudy as the Wilsons." I took her to the home of a local 5A owner and she nearly caused the end of the Universe with, "Wow!! Those are beautiful!" Go figure....
Follow Ups:
It's exposing her to the Wilsons that did it.Not just the question of physical appearance either, expose anyone to the sound of Wilsons and they will marvel once they hear 5As!
It was actually kind of funny. She came along to look at the 5As... literally... she just wanted to see what they looked like in person.Since we were in one car she got to sit through a 1 hr listening session with me. Definitely had an audiophile experience with constant comments like:
"I heard things that I've never heard before!"
"Look, I've got goosebumps!"
and the all-important....
