Well Folks,

I am sure you have all heard this question many times before!

First, I have a two year old 561 with software upgrade,I also just purchased a 596 DVD with which I am very happy.

I have now had an offer of a pair of DSP5000's five years old, with recent 24/96 upgrade - OR a pair of 5500's only a few months old.

In british pounds,there is a difference of �3,000 between the 5000 and the 5500, and a saving of �2,500 on the 5500's which are only a few months. My question; are the 5500 that much better to warrant that amount of extra money?

I will have to travel from Ireland to England to audition both sets of speakers so any input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
James
