Who stay with Merlin longest time

Marty, don't waste the pixels.

Feeding the troll here, but...

Okay, Jimbo2. Over the 25 odd years I've been in seriously into this hobby I've owned:

Vandersteen 2c's
Totem Arro's
Ohm Micro Walsh Tall's and 100 S-3's
Silverline Preludes (briefly)
Ascend Sierra 1's (very briefly)
PSB Synchrony 1B's (briefly)
LSA1 Statements (twice!)
Green Mountain Audio Rios

So I've had more than a few highly regarded loudspeakers in and out of my rig, and the Merlin TSM-mmi's (which I've now had for just over a year and which I just upgraded to Master RC's) are wonderful. They are resolving, musical, coherent, and create musical beauty. That's not to say that I don't continue to be fascinated with loudspeakers of various designs... I'll be at RMAF this year listening to all the goodies on display. But to trash the Merlin brand wholesale, as well as its talented designer, is patently unfair and uncalled for.

Merlin may or may not be your cup of tea, but it's a quality product made with love and integrity... no doubt in my mind about that.

And here I thought I was a tough as nails retired old sea capt. only to have jumbo set me straight. Started the journey 20 yrs. ago w/3 way merlin sig. 4`s. I've had the immense pleasure of listening to music through the tsm/mme`s for the past few years and wouldn't trade them for any other monitor on the market.

Yes, we must thank Jimbo for saving us from ourselves - a true public service.

My take is a bit different Pubul. I think Jimbo was just bored and wanted to troll a bit to see where it went knowing full well the passion that Merlin owner's have. The real clue was attacking Bobby to add a bit of spice. Maybe he has an ax to grind for other reasons only he can chime in on, who knows, but of course we know he won't, he got his desired result, really not worth further comments or attention IMO.
