"I could never get the Dyn to totally disappear and go invisible, the Merlin's do a great job in that regard."
I've accomplished that with the Dyn Contour 1.3mkii when able to optimize placement away from walls. They are rear ported. Not as much where currently located only a foot or so out in my wife's sunroom. The sealed enclosure should work well closer to walls I would expect.
I'm guessing the sealed enclosure is a big part of the Merlin's magic in some setups in comparison to other monitor designs that are ported in order to extend range.
I think I read some Merlins actually use Dynaudio drivers.
