I agree with much of the above and especially the "wife test". I had the same results which was good as I'd purchased the 55's without getting Mrs L to the demo. She immediately appreciated the significant improvement that the 55's give over the 5ks.

However, it may be that for some ears, the extra weight, scale and depth is not ideal.

If you are getting the 55's for about �5000 then that's a great deal...especially if they are current model. Be warned, they are pretty heavy if you are shipping across the Irish sea.
