The S5's I heard 6 ot 7 years ago were really great above 1000 HZ or so. But there were issues in the 300 HZ to 1000 HZ range my better half caught first her having been a lower Clarinet playeer at in her early life. We changed amps and when we finally settled on a MC 275 MK IV she was happy. And I had to agree and Euphonium and bassoon sound really more life like, too. I have only heard A5 once and with the advanced tweeter I really didn't hear anything that different. The bass was not to my liking and I didn't feel like spending the day moving the speakers around wither. Changing to a MC 2301 helped a bunch, even though I am not a 2301 fan. Want to hear the new MC 2152. Probably would be a better match. But its just a guess.
