All suffer with over emphasis of bass in certain parts and bad room reactions. The S5's are the best behaved speakers I have heard and will not be leaving here any time soon.
Likewise. They also look great in blue! I had been a Wilson man for over 15 years before the Magico's. The Wilson's are great and I still love what they do. However, they do require room to breathe or the bass just gets out of hand, especially in pokey brick built UK homes. No regrets.
+1 for the blue! I'm a big fan of the S5 and would even consider the mk2 as an upgrade path from my Sasha 2s.
My Sashas benefited considerably from a stack of GIK corner bass traps, in the two corners behind the speakers. Since then very good indeed even with SAM @ 100%.
