I auditioned the T-5s a few weeks ago. Good, all-round speaker. Good timbre, good imaging, good sound-stage, good bass response, not too forward, not too laid-back. Driven by Rogue electronics, but I didn't feel the room I was listening to them in did them justice. I didn't pursue them further because they didn't snare me, they didn't draw me in the way a couple of other speakers did, but it's easy to see them being very attractive to a lot of listeners, and perhaps in another space, or with different equipment, or cables,... who knows?
It's hard to get past the rather clunky exterior look, like an ungainly version of Vandersteen.
