The following are comments from the Soundstage review of the previous Model 5

"...they seemed to image like a hologram."

"Their ability to unravel detail, particularly through the midrange, is excellent and easily on par with speakers that cost $1000 or more."

"I found out quickly that thee Model 5s can do extremely impressive bass for its size..."

"...the drums, guitar and vocals all had body and size, proof to me that image size does not necessarily correlate with speaker size."

"..vocals were cast so rock-solid in the center that I placed it among the best I've heard at any price."

"I was left shaking my heat at the fact that such big sound came from such little boxes."

"...they were shocking in their ability to fill my moderately sized 12' by 16' room with sound..."

   The Model 5S has been redesigned into a more formidable performer. The new paper cone high excursion woofer with over hung voice coil provides 33% more excursion for more dynamic bass response. The new Model 5S provides an astonishingly high level of performance for its small size and modest cost. It is designed for use in high-end stereo, home theater, and background music systems. It is available with an optional 1/4-20 threaded receptacle that allows "no-fuss" attachment of Omnimount brackets for wall and ceiling mount. And the Model 5S is magnetically shielding for use near to CRTs.
