How do the Merlin TSM compare to other speakers

I tested against my pair of sonus faber guarniere and the merlin tsm mm was better. Next saturday we are going to test against B&W 805.

I used the the merlins and sonus faber guarniere first with JR concentra I and the cable were Kimber kselect 3033 with merlins and I used nordost red down with SF guarniere( I used before both cables in each speaker and these combinations were the best) the cdplayer was meridian 508.24 + madrigal gzel interconecter. after tis I changed to aplifier to gamut d200 mk3 + bat vk5i ( interconecters )siltech, I and more 3 friends arived the same impresion- the merlins were more fast and better. but I think that for violin and cello , the SF guarniere were better because the sound was more slow and the timbre were more natural.

yesterday we heard merlin X B&W 805, we use concentra I + meridian 508.24 + madrigal gzel interconect and Kimber select 3033- The result to me and 2 friends - merlin is better in all aspects, but the best is on bass(more tigh) and clarity, and soundstage. There are 2 friends that I could not ask yet their judgment.But but interesting is that after all we tested B&W 804, and the 805 ws better than this speaker that cost $3000 more(in Brazil). Bob in the future I wil buy audicence au24 interconecter and speaker cable to try with merlin, but I will send you a email about tubes amplifiers and some doubts about.
thanks for your advices.
