Speakers closest to Merlin ?

Look at some of the Joseph Audio speakers. Jeff Joseph is a brilliant designer. At CES we listened to a Stand mounted two way which was just very special called the prism I would also recommend the Nola boxer

There's several used pair here on Audiogon. You also might want to reach out to Rich Brkich over at Signature Sound. He may be able to hook you up, or at least give you some viable alternatives.

Joseph Audio.

Used Merlins are not an option for me because the sellers dont want to ship out of the States.
The room is around 5m x 4m.It will be close to the wall but can be moved out.VSM-MMs worked great in this B system setup.The Callisto 2100 is a powerhouse integrated..100watt in to 8 and 200watt into 8 and even 360w into 2ohm.The Leben is a 15watt Japanese work of art.
Thanks for the suggestions,will have a look at Joseph Audio and Nola.
Anything else ?

Chris, I can only recommend speakers that I own and the Joseph Audio Pulsars are certainly fantastic, but do better out in the room and list for $7500. However, the NHT Classic Fours are equally impressive if you consider bang for buck - I have them in my study which is a little smaller than your room 12.5 X 13 feet, but they are certainly worth the $2000 they cost new - check them out on Agon and user comments. They are great right against the wall and both the upper and lower frequencies are well integrated. These would be my recommendation at your price level. I owned the TSMs and these are just as good. Before you decide check out the north Creek Revelators at $2000 as well.Good luck
