GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM

Minbean, what are you driving them with?

songwriter, i have never heard the gma speakers. i would have to wonder about something that makes every recording sound good - knowing not every recording *is* good. if you enjoy the music and the reproduction, i don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. but if your goal is to suck the marrow out of top notch recordings, and accept the deficiencies of those that aren't, i'm not sure speakers that 'make everything sound good' would be the best way to go. you tell me - how can speakers that make everything sound good be reproducing what is *really* there?

songwriter, i read this prior to your further comments:

"The ability to play and enjoy ANY recording is one of the primary advantages of time/phase aligned speakers. I no longer have un-listenable or un-enjoyable recordings in my collection since purchasing the GMA speakers."

and undertood that "ANY" actually means "ANY". i interpret "play and enjoy" to mean "sound good". i don't think i was "twisting" anything. i was just reading your thoughts. thoughts which you obviously felt the need to elaborate upon further and i appreciate your further qualifications to your remarks. take care.
