Questions for Soliloquy fans


I was about to buy a pair of Monitor Audio Silver S6($1000 MSRP) which is pretty good for me for now, but then I thought that it'll be a while before I get a speaker upgrde, so that I decided to go extra at this time.

I hear only great things about Soliloquy speakers, so I'm doing some more reasearch on it.

I'm particulary interested in 5.3 that matching size mid/bass woofer center and satllite speakers available

Here are questions
so, how's 5.3 vs 6.2 vs 6.3?
is double 5.25" mid/bass woofer on 5.3 'big' enough?
also, I see some variations on the model naming, ie 5.3, 5.3i, 6.2s, etc..., what are the latest? what are the differences?

Looks like their website is not even up to date.

Also, what are the alternatives worth comparing to Soliloquy

Thanks

Hello - I have owned both the Soliloquy 5.3 and 6.3.
Their build quality is 2nd to none. Beautiful furniture quality cabinets made in North Carolina with very heavy internal bracing. They are rear ported, so you need to have them at least 3 feet from the back wall. They both sound great with both acoustic and electric musical sources.
The 5.3's even with their smaller woofers have good bass extension, but the 6.3's have even better bass and I think a more distinct mid-range, a larger room filling presentation. I have heard many speakers, some of them many times the price that did not sound as good. You can't go wrong with either one.
I hope this helps.
