Thanks for your insight Chris!
Stereophile magazine has a strongly positive review of the FR5 in their December issue. It ends with, “They consistently achieve one of audio’s elusive goals: They disappear into the music.”
I’ll post a link once the review is available online.
It is a great review yet I was disappointed it didn’t mention that Chris Brunhaver designed this speaker and all of the other Aspen series of speakers. I’m sure enjoying my FR5s!
Thanks for mentioning this. Yes, I’m glad Kal seemed to like them and I thought the review was very well done.
This review is now posted online

I just finished reading it.
Congratulations Chris! What a spectacular review.
No kidding. Congratulations to Chris!
Even through earphones, the FR5 sounds ravishing with some nice equipments.

Here is part 2 of Jay’s audition of the FR5’s. Again with my earphones, not bad sounding at all. Check it out.

I don’t know if this has been posted yet, but Audio Excellence Canada seems to like them a lot, to put it mildly.

Two different reviews on YouTube have now raved about the flat panel ribbon tweeter.
I love my FR20’s, more and more as time goes on.
Final installment of Jay’s review of the FR5. Nice speakers!
