Yes, ultra 5 is expensive, but you can use also the ultra ss for around 1/3 of the price of the ultra 5.
Other strong points of the 500 are the easy positioning even in my smallish room, very good off-axis and low-level listening.
Instruments and vocals had their rock-solid place in the stage, which was just amazing.
The advantage of a speaker this big is the ease of revealing the music.
And they can play really loud without any artefacts.
As you said everything matters at this level, so finding the right components is key and half the fun.
Have to look next for a new digital front-end to match.
Best.
