I asked Dave Berman at Soliloquy the difference between the 5.0 and the 5.01 and this is what he sent me:
First the cabinet is better built, more durable and better looking. It is comprised of 1 thick medite compressed at 11,000lbs per sq. inch, this compared to our old cabinet made from HDF. We then use a darker stain formulation and top coat with polyurethane. The old cabinet had a nitro-cellulose lacquer.
The new cabinet also has the front three edges radiused at ¼ for better imaging.
We have improved the driver to be slightly lighter and faster, as well as more rigid.
We now use analysis plus wiring and better sound dampening compounds. We also have improved the mounting layout and the capacitance in our networks.
All of this translates into slightly better imaging, more body in the midrange, greater durability, faster break-in time and a more open top end.
