I have found this is the case with these big speaker. Guys in the army/air force where designated how much weight they could ship back according to rank. Pilots where captains and bought the big boys, my 5500 came from a captain.
I liked my SP-5000 better than the horns on the Sp-5500 as they where warmer and not as bright.
I know someone wanting to sell a pair of 5500. I used to have some Klipsch KG-4 with the horns. They really weren't that great, although maybe they needed to be recapped. I sold them. These 5000 are the best thing since sliced bread. I'm tempted to buy the 5500 just to see if the horns suit me. It seems like I can always get my money back if I don't like them. But remembering my KG-4 experience, I don't know. I'm probably going to go for it. I want to see / hear.
