Ensemble takes on posh place -- one of five (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quintuplet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one of five' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'ensemble takes on posh place' is the wordplay.
'ensemble takes' becomes 'quintet' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' is an insertion indicator (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'posh' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-U).
'place' becomes 'pl' (abbreviation used in postal addresses).
'u'+'pl'='upl'
'quintet' enclosing 'upl' is 'QUINTUPLET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for quintuplet that I've seen before include "One of five born together" , "one of several children" , "One arriving in group" , "complicated delivery component" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
