Eggleston, Merlin, Jean Marie Reynaud????

Looking to buy a killer mini monitor/small bookshelf.

I have auditioned The Eggy Isabels and Fontaines. both superb with smooth, clean high end. Esotar tweeter is awesome!! Have not heard Merlin TSM-MM or MX. Jean Marie Reynaud Trente, and Offrandes are reputed to be world class, but again I have not heard them! Tired of Separates, I am planning on an Integrated amp. Contenders might be the Tact and Bel Canto for digital, the Mac 6900 and Plinius 9200 for SS, and maybe the Mac 2275 or Vac Avatar Super for tubes.

Any thoughts from owners or former owners would be appreciated!!

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I second Eril..,

The Reynauds are loudspeakers for life.
I listen to music most of the day ( at home ) and never experience any fatique.
They sound good in any part of the room so your not stuck to a 'hotspot' position.
I can't comment on the other brands since I haven't listened to them but you should have a listen to Reynauds.., whatever model.
BTW.., I'm running my Offrandes with Plinius.., a fine combination.

Good luck and lots of wisdom..!
