Merlin VSM-M or JM Lab Mini Utopia

Please help. I'm trying to decide between these two pairs and having a hard time because I can't audition them where I live. If anyone has experience with these and can share their experience, I would much appreciate. My preference is jazz and rock. My system consists of Bat vk5i, Bat vkd5, Bel Canto 200.2. My thanks in advance.

yup, my VSM's, a bottle of vintage french, and a basket full of french fries!

seriously, a sealed stand mount 2 way like the mini cannot jam. they just cannot throw enough air to R&R. the VSMs, though a 2-way, are ported, and can move a lot more air than they appear. i find that heavy bass is mostly intellectual but physical as well. a good mix. and yes, they rock & roll quite well.
