Best speakers at show? Merlin by far


Never got to heard them before because of the sticks where I live but have followed them for years--and went to hear them after Planet HiFi and Soundstage. Hate to jump on the bandwagon and imitate Absolute Sound, etc reports but best by far were Merlins! Blew me away, Crowded but I didn't want to leave so went to Sim Audio and listened there too! Wow! Anyone selling red ones? Cheap? I'll take them, just post em here with a tube harness, I think it's called. Thanks.

We only had the one pair at the show - RM33si's, I don't know what you mean about "bigger ones".
I made sure the absolute phase was correct for the demonstration pieces used (hey, you *never* know when
Clark Johnsen's gonna pop in!) As for the implication that we use less expensive drivers - please check the cost of the Seas Excel
tweeters - they certainly are not $20! The Esotars are more expensive still, but I feel they are better suited to slow slope crossovers where they are pushed harder. (And besides, the Seas Millennium tweeter is a killer!) And btw, I happen to know that the Aerial tweeters ARE custom made to their specifications, and modified for them.
Anyway, thanks for visiting our room, we'll find out what the showgoers' thought when Stereophile tallys the votes
