How do the Merlin TSM compare to other speakers

George,
.
Thanks for the comparison. Did you compare the Guarneri and the Merlin's in the same system at the same time using the same music ?
.
What differences did you hear ?
.
Thanks,

I also have had the TSM and SF Guarneri at one session at my system...I went for the SF...the TSN is more "rock music" speaker, the Guarneri is very refined musical one. Watch for the hight you are sitting at with both of these speakers, your ears have to be at the tweeter level!!!

you must have had an older tsm and not the mm or mx to have said what you said.

I used the the merlins and sonus faber guarniere first with JR concentra I and the cable were Kimber kselect 3033 with merlins and I used nordost red down with SF guarniere( I used before both cables in each speaker and these combinations were the best) the cdplayer was meridian 508.24 + madrigal gzel interconecter. after tis I changed to aplifier to gamut d200 mk3 + bat vk5i ( interconecters )siltech, I and more 3 friends arived the same impresion- the merlins were more fast and better. but I think that for violin and cello , the SF guarniere were better because the sound was more slow and the timbre were more natural.

Thanks for your response. I was not clear from what you said if you listened to the Merlin's vs the Guarneri on exactly the same equipment set up for each at the same time. Please clarify.

Please do let us know about the comparison of the Merlin's vs the B & W 805's.

Thanks,
