Merlin TSM BME with master Zoebel boxed for now. They are wonderful, but moved onto ATC active to move air like I wanted to. Within their parameters of price, physical size and performance with reasonably priced kit driving them, they are gamers.
Are Merlin TSM speakers buried with their owners?
For now....I have decided to stick with my TSMs. I spent a LOT of time on the internet trying to find any discussion of speakers that people have moved on to from their Merlins. I can't find a darn thing. Someday, I'd like to move on just to try something different (the change disease is terrible with no cure). I'm sure there are probably speakers for $10k that I could buy, but I'm not looking to go that route. Very frustrating and quite perplexing.
