Hey, no experience of q5's, but I've just taken delivery of a pair of ex demo s5 my 1's. Very pleased with the sound - incredible detail, great soundstage and real bass that can reproduce the low b on a bass guitar beautifully.
I have been surprise by how much harder my 800's are working compared with driving my previous ml summits. The speakers are under absolute control even at high volumes, but the amps have to be running at a much higher output for the same perceived volume and they are much hotter to the touch.
I've no experience of 400's but I suspect, if the q5's are anything like the s5's then more watts may be needed - I've got my OdA's arriving in the next couple of weeks..
