"tears to the eyes good" Merlin Master VSM


Category: Speakers

I own Merlin VSM mme's. Having heard the Masters for the first time last night I can honestly say these speakers have a way of drawing you into the music emotionally to a degree that I have never experienced outside of live music. It is so transparent neutral and highly resolved that you can perceive the individual instruments in an ensemble in a way that allows you be involved with the interplay of the instruments and sense of place and space three dimensionally in your room. More importantly it brings out the energy and essence of the musical performance. Listening to the Gershwin Cuban Overture in hi-res was mesmerizing. Hearing the solo trumpet emerging was startlingly real. Rarely have I heard that instrument reproduced so naturally. There is just so much more of a sense of being sucked into the music that the usual audiophile terms and descriptors just go out the window. Wish I could afford them.

I wish this board were restricted to people who have actually heard speakers and can comment on them based on their experience. That would be much more valuable to me and this whole thread would not be taking place.
And when Bobby defended you before, I bought it. Now it's "I wish" and "valuable to me". News flash: the world doesn't revolve around you. Could you be more self-centered? Humorless, crybabies are the problem with these forums. I hope this is understood, both, in context and content.
I'm not being self centered at all. I wish there could be a forum in addition to what's here and at Asylum that's more specific to my needs and I suspect a lot of others. I guess I should have been clearer. My apologies for that.
I'm all for additional forums which cater to specific audio beliefs. Allan, you struck a nerve. I thought I had closed the book on this thread on a friendly note, then another misunderstanding. Jeez I dislike the Internet at times.
m, i have fought a lot of battles over over the years and have learned a lot from doing so. being costic and sarcastic will simply get a response in kind and ignite the converstion taking it more off topic. being reasonable and a gentleman will get you more from more people.
