5A

About the 5A

The Vandersteen 5A is a 5-driver, 4-way, time- and phase-accurate loudspeaker system designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional transparency, imaging, and bass performance. It features a unique aperiodic, push-pull, powered sub-bass system, a battery-biased passive high-pass filter, and an 11-band equalizer. The enclosure is constructed using a 'boxless' minimum-baffle, non-resonant design, and incorporates proprietary driver technology for midrange and treble clarity. The system is engineered for phase coherence and minimal time smear, with first-order crossovers and high-purity silver internal wiring.
