Yes any 825/828 cabinet with a large format driver ie. 288/299 500 Hz horn/XO is an A-5
805,1005, etc...
Nothing like a great big pair of speakers to make your day.

Yes they are if loaded with 515 woofers .
Right, big multi-cell do not an A5 make without the 515. Come to think of it, I don't recall any 416/large format multi-cell combo models.

Loud is Beautiful if it's Clean! As always though, the usual disclaimers apply to this post's contents.

Right the A7-500 had 416's but they also had small format drivers as far as I can tell the A-5 were loaded with various models of 515's through the years from the original RWB 515's to the 515E or G and maybe couple others as well (GHP) etc..... But the majority I think were produced during the 515B period.Something along those lines AFAIK.
Addendum: Yes the original A-5's were 550 Lbs.But the picture Cal showed was of a 825/828 cab.![]()
They were building/installing A5's in 1945 before the 825 cabinet was introduced, and went into the 1990's with the revised versions. I think an A5 system has been available longer than 604's.
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
Did the A5 start out with the 803 woofer like the A7?

515's always AFAIK. It's the combination of 515LF, and large format HF that make it an A5 system. FWIW, there are/were A7 versions that used 515 woofers, but had/have small format HF sections.
