Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1


Hi, I got a lot of good recommendations from viewers of my other thread "Best speaker under $3K". I wonder if I stretch my budget to around $4K- used, what would be the choice?

A few people mentioned the Dynaudio Confidence C1, Merlin, Thiel, etc. Anyone have experience with these fine speakers? How would you differ them?

FYI, I listen to a variety of musics - orchestra, chamber, vocals(female and male), jazz, pop songs,etc and prefer natural, accurate, musical sound with smooth treble and good bass as well as excellent sound stage and imaging.

I had experience listening the Vandersteen 5A and was very impressed by the dynamics and details it rendered. But it's way beyond my reach.

Realistically, I would consider the few candidates mentioned above and maybe the Reference 3A Veneer. My listening room is about 13 x 15 x 9.

Thanks for your help.

I am sorry to inform you about this.  There is no cure for audiophool disease. At some time it may go into remission for variable periods but always recurs.  Research looking for cures has been disappointing.  Angry spouses have occasionally caused temporary regression, however .......etc etc.

thiel was a little hard to play well like warmer and big current amp .

dyna 's tweeter a little on the hard side for my own reference ,and also the bass was not bad in terms of a bookshelf but can't compare to thiel floorstand nomatter how you adjust .
