Speakers free of grain, glare and steel?

$2,000 or less used/new speakers free of grain, glare and steel, but with detail, extension, imaging, and tonal accuracy and balance? Acoustic Zen Adagio, Merlin TSM MME. Gallo 3.1, Frafrotski SE? Most speakers are competent, some are outstanding, a few deliver magic. Which speakers are the most musical and easy to listen to, rising to the top of a crowded field given their price point, and the most "forgiving" of their associated components? Which have magic?

Pmboyd,

I have the TSM-mmi's and they are marvelous; sweet and musical. And they are about as balanced and flat top to bottom as you could ask for. Bobby P has great ears and makes a wonderful product. Good luck!

Just got my Merlin TSM-MMIs. Nicely balanced and highly highly resolving. They're not broken in yet but I can see why they would love the fat bottle. More later.

20 hours and still opening up, but land o'goshen, these are some special disappearing trumpets! (And the ugliest speaker grilles on the planet.)

Magnepans are really clear sounding speakers IMO. So much so that the next brand you buy after you own a maggie likely just won't sound good to your ears. Even the MMG are great if it is a small office, or you are sitting close.
