If you want a pair at a better price (also with a premium finish - birdseye maple), shoot me a PM as I will be selling mine shortly.
BY far the best speakers I have owned, but I have decided to take some money out of my 2 channel system.

Good grief! 
You never stop, do you? 
What are you trying next? Or going back to the HT3's perhaps?
My Dad is the same way with guns- he's owned hundreds and hundreds of different ones, and often trades or sells one after just a couple weeks. We have a joke in my family that an heirloom is a gun that's been in the collection for 3 months. 
Me, I like to try new stuff but I'm sort of a stick in the mud. I've only had my current speakers for about a year, but the ones they replaced served me well for five years. The ones they replaced were only in my rig for a few months, but the pair prior to that served for seven years.
Nothing wrong with that, just like I said- I'm a stick in the mud.
Still, when I can afford my own HT3's I'll probaby be changing again. 
Rob,
You are correct in that I do like to try stuff. Although I do tend to own speakers for "longer" periods of time.
In this case, I still stand by the 5A's being the best speakers I have owned or seriously listened to.
However, they are very expensive and I am hoping to come
close to their performance for less money.
I am going to try and achieve this by going with a new speaker that isn't even out yet called the RSL II. This new speaker is being brought to market by Mark Schifter, Arnie Nudell, and Bascom King.
I have decided to sell my HT3's as well and they will be going to a very good home (a member here on AC) later this summer.
I would have kept my HT3's except for the fact that I want to go back to lower powered tube amps.
So as Chris (aka Mr. Wolfy) says: "The Circle goes around and around."
