How do the Merlin TSM compare to other speakers


I have read many great reviews of the TSM-MM/MX but have not seen much discussion as how they rate against other top class monitors or small floor standing speakers.

Thinking of speakers such as the micro utopia be, audio physic tempo, Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor, Dynaudio Special 25 etc.

Bobby,

I thought the higher the Q the lower the damping ie. the oscillation takes longer to die out. As it pertains to roll off characteristics (as in a low pass transfer function of any order filter) a Q of 0.707 is criticaly damped whereas a lower number denotes an overdamped condition and a higher number an uderdamped condition. Could you please clarify?
