The Vandersteen 5a's are my favorite speakers under $24,000. They are my favorite speakers and I think any color is a bargin. My close friend and I went shopping for these at Audio Connection in NJ about a year ago. He is to say the least, very satisfied. I have always loved Vandesteens, and one day I hope to afford the 5a's for myself. I have been around audio alot. See my web site:
