(((I have 3a sigs currently and like the sound, but would think the 5a's
would give me more flexibility with placement, as well as give me more
detail in sound. What do you think?)))
A full range speaker is a concern by possibly overloading the room with bass at the rooms resonance frequency points, which can vary from one room to another.
That said most folks are not aware of where it happens or what frequency. Below is a task you may wish to try and share your results. Plus or minus 2 or 3 db in the lab is different then
plus of minus 3 db in the home.
If you have an SPL meter set to slow/ C weighted and download Vandertones from Vandersteen Audio

play track 1 thru 11 for your left channel , and tracks 16 to 26 for right ch write down the results on a pad vertically, try and get 8 of the 11 tones above 70 DB with this you can plot your left and right side of the room and see what the room looks like and share your results.

Trk 13 and 14 are great acoustic bass tracks that allow us to easily hear your rooms resonance areas.
