A lot of folks might be assuming you mean 5000HC vs 5000C. But you did say 5000C which implies a VERTICAL speaker.

If it's a 5000C (as in vertical) a DSP33 won't even come close. Possibly not even a 5200HC would come close.

5000's both vertical and horizontal are pretty easy to come by. DSP33's less common.

Personally the DSP33 is the worst speaker Meridian ever made.

Not to mention is extremely frustrating to set up because it has no display.

If you truly have 5 or more 5K's Vertical or Horizontal. KEEP IT THAT WAY. Having all matched speakers at any level has benefits.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
