No probs! Very happy to ramble on, I just don't want to bore people too much!
I'll be interested to read your first impressions of the A5, and how they develop over time. Do share!
I remember when I first heard the Quad ESL2905. I thought the sound very recessed and lacking in midrange. But after about a week I realised that I was missing all the distorted junk that they weren't adding. I've never looked (heard) back since that realisation.
When I first heard the A5 my ears had been trained by the Quads and the A3s. My thought was - "oh this is pretty good". But it did take weeks, and months, to get a true handle on the depth of their capability.
