That is a very good question. I have owned the Chane A2.4's across the front with excellent results. But, I have never owned an Emotiva product whatsoever. Been thinking about getting a set of the BasX S8 subs to go along with my Wharfies. Just not ready to pull the trigger just yet.
With the T2's just being released for shipping, I doubt anyone will know first hand. Have you thought about ordering a set and then comparing directly before selling off your A5's? Worse case scenario you send the T2's back on your dime. Might be worth the risk. Best wishes!
Cheers,
Phil
