Harbeth Compact 7 or Merlin TSM

I am in the market to buy a pair of large bookshelf speakers. Instead of looking for a 'Hi-Fi' speaker that give you all of the descriptions that you will find in the audio review magazines or websites, I am looking for a pair of musical speakers that will get my 'emotion' involve when I listen to them. I have narrow down to 2 pair of speakers that I believed are capable of achieving that based on the owner reviews and experience I read.

So, I am looking for anybody have experiences with both of them and share some of your opinions with me.

Thanks,
Tuck

Mostly tube amps. I have a PP EL34, SE300B and SE KT88. I have a small listening room, only 14'x14'.

Thanks everybody for your inputs.

MACD: One of my friends used to have a pair of original Harbeth Compact 7and he used a SE300B amp to driver them. From distant memory, the sound was warm and very musical. I still remembered every time when I visit him, I always wanted him to play some music for me. His living room is about the size of my currently listening room.

Bobby: My budget is to look for a pair of used (either brand) in the mid $2k range. It seems like the VSM is better fit my need as they are more sensitive then the TSM. Too bad they are out of my budget.

Also, what is the main difference between the new Master series with the MMr series?

Thanks,
Tuck
