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. Model 5A Specifications:
