why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?

they have account balance past due with professional reviewers unpaid.

It could be they had their day in the sun and other, new-kid-on-the-block products are crowding them out. It's a big playing field out there and only so many refs.

All the best,

It used to be when anyone here posted anything negative about them, there would be a many quick to post in their defense . I have owned a pair of their speakers and I never got them to sound to my liking., but kept that to myself during this period.

It does make you wonder .

Perhaps it is because both reviewers and consumer cannot make out which model is the most current. Go to Merlin website and you will be more confused than ever.

Merlin’s current price list shows VSM-MMM and VSM-MXM speakers, but the Notes section indicates VSM-MXr and VM-MMi speakers. Go Merlin’s “The Evolution of the Merlin VSM Loudspeaker” page and it indicates VSM-MM & VSM-MX (Produced from Spring 2004 to Present) as their current model. Now go to Merlin Product new and it indicates that the VSM MMe has been replaced by the VSM MMi and the VSM MXe by the VSM MXr. Why not just label their speakers series 1, 2, 3 etc.
