I need some advice on speakers..

I may be mistaken, but I thought that the Super Eclipse had a rather large (deep) foot print. Sorry to be negative about Bobby's Merlin VSM-M's but I heard 'em (two different rooms) at the C.E.S. Can't figure out what all the hoopla is about. Yeah, the Esotar tweeter sounded great, but the mids and lows didn't integrate well into a seamless presentation. A shame, because these speakers ARE NOT CHEAP and the build quality and parts are all top notch and expensive. Another speaker (small) that really impressed was Legend Audio's "The Legend". Very quick sound, almost electrostatic. Great soundstage, very deep, and unusual because it was well behind the speakers. Bass seemed to be a little thin, and these are 4 ohm impedence. Happy Tunes!

Avivey, I know there not on your list but i would definetly give a listen to the dunlavy aletha's, I have a room that's similar to yours and i'm getting great results. If you set them up exactly like the manual shows they dissapear completely, I've owned Dunlavy SC4a's, mirge m3si's, schnell B minors; and areial 10 T's; and find the alethas to be best sounding overall. Whatever you do listen to all the speakers you can before you buy.
Best Regards, Chuck,

I'd would go for the VMPS. You won't need a sub with those and the ribbons used with those speakers have no match in its class.

Check out the Gershman Avant Garde RX 20's - it is 36 inches high with a 12 inch footprint and delivers bass down to 24 HZ. It is a phenomenal speaker for a room your size - you will not believe the sound they put out. They are beautiful to add to the delight. Check comments on audioreview.com. I have two systems - one with the Odyssey and the other with the RX 20's. They retail for 4400 but can be gotten at a better price new from JC Audio or Sound and Video in Minnesota.

I'm a little worried that the Gershman Avant Garde RX 20's haven't had an update in technology for some time it seems.

Is there any information on the drivers and X-overs used.
