at that price point worth an airline ticket or two.Yes!
That said . . . I have not heard the 5 Carbon but I have heard the W/P7 and Sasha and the Vandy 7. Without an audition, I would go with the 5 Carbon over Wilson. Those Vandersteen carbon drivers are superb. Might be the very best made today. Pistonic behavior = minimized distortion which yields unsurpassed clarity, intelligibility, and resolution.
