I chose the A5 over the P5 because the system was only at the time for a home theater. The A5 is a great value for home theater. I since hybridized the home theater so that I can also use it as a complete two-channel system. Although the A5 acquits itself admirably for two-channel, I now wish I had gone with the P5. The sonic differences between the A and P series are much more evident when listening to music compared to watching movies. As for whether or not a P2 is worth twice the cost of an A2, that is something only the buyer can decide!
