Dyna 1.3SE wins over 1.8MKII. I have ever owned 1.8 and audited 1.3SE. 1.3 can give amazing bass especially when pairing with the original silver colour stand.
1.8MKII sounds a bit doub comparing to 1.3SE, also need to mind the listening space. 1.3SE can handle smaller place.
Merlin is good in mid and high, but lose in bass delivery. For amp, I strongly recommend Jeff Rowland Concentra II, a very very good match with Dyna speakers. Last time audit was 1.3SE with Concentra II.
Anyway, I can get 1.3SE demo Bird Eye at my end. Let me know if you are interested.
