So all the votes are in. The M5HP is a winner. My M5HPs, with their front baffles placed 5 feet from my front wall, render a completely 3D, holographic soundstage behind them across the 20 foot width. In my 4200 cu. ft. room, the M5s acoustically "disappear". Listeners who inspect the back of my M5s are shocked to find nothing more than puckered sphincters.

Every v4 product I have is truly spectacular.
