The Vandersteen Model 5 has been in production since February 1997.  One of the many unique features incorporated into the Model 5 is complete upgradeability.  Over the last few years we have been working on upgrading the Model 5's performance with the latest state of the art technologies.  That work is now complete.

The Vandersteen Model 5A differs with the still in production Model 5 in the following ways:

• Switch Mode, Power Factor Corrected, Regulated Power Supply for the subwoofer amplifier.
• New Trilaminar woven fiber cone and high efficiency magnet system for the 5's patented midrange driver.
• New alloy chassis and aero dynamic magnet system for the tweeter.
• Refined crossover to manage the new midrange and tweeter.
• Extreme matching of crossover to driver interface of the midbass, midrange and tweeter in the Anechoic Chamber.

This very expensive new technology results in an audible refinement top to bottom in every aspect of loudspeaker performance.
