Glide3 did you notice the same shortcomings in the bass department in your room? One major consideration for me is that I want a speaker that doesn't "specialize" in one type of music over the other to answer Gts87 question as to the type of music I like. I like jazz, rock, Classical vocals, even a little opera on occasion so I want a speaker that plays it ALL well. My benchmark is always full scale orchestral recordings to determine what a system does best and what area it has shortcomings. The Merlins must pass this test with flying colors for their price. Can they play Beethoven's 9th without compressing at reasonably loud levels in my room? Thank you both with your insight and advice it is much appreciated and helpful.
Merlin VSM SE Speakers - Opinions
I am looking at the possibility of upgrading my Speakers. The Merlins keep on catching my eye but not my ears; there is no local dealer. Reviews are great and they seem to possess all that one can ask for in a 2-way. I have reservations in the fact that there are so many of them for sale in Audiogon - WHY? If anyone out there can tell me more about these speakers and other matching components other than the Joule Electronics they seem to have a synergistic match with, I would be greatful. These speakers almost sound too good to be true, what's the scoop?
