Dear @dumbeat: "
And thats a good thing and a bad thing. " "
Half my library does not translate well at this time. "
I know and listened your Merlin speakers.
First time I heard the Dynaudio Esotar twetters was many years ago ( today Esotar 2 but from some years now Dynaudio is not any more a driver suplier for any one but its speakers. ) through a Sonus Faber monitor that till today was the deepest dimension of any two way speakers I never seen ( can't remember the model. ) and the hf range was to brigth/hars. This kind of characteristic I never listened in the own Dynaudio speakers designs maybe because they know exactly how to handle it. Esotar 2 is a little better but still brigth.
There is no reason for you can continue with that kind of quality level performance and if I was you what I will do is to change the Merlin's for something you already know very well ATC ones.
Merlin has that trouble no matter what. You need to change its design to achieve top level and maybe you can't get it.
ATC is one option about.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
