I've seen the ebay auction for the Vandersteen 5A in Takoma, MD the past year and a half. There was an audio store close by in Kensington, MD called "Soundworks" that carried the Vandy 5A's so I assumed these 5A's were from leftover stock. The past seven offers since May are listed as "expired" instead of "declined" so I'm not sure what that means.
