Tubegroover. Please forgive me for asking the obvious, but if the Merlin takes all that time, loving care and special treatment to sound good... why didn't you just buy a speaker that sounded good in the first place? I just bought the Silverline Sonata which I think everyone would agree is far better then the Merlin. Hell you could set it upside down and on fire and it would sound better then the Merlin. Personally I like speakers that don't cut the balls off the music and that's just what that piss poor excuse of a woofer Merlin uses does. If the Merlin makes you happy, more power to you. I just tend to like music instead of hifi but then I'm not you. If I was I'd probably kill myself.
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
I love Martin Logan, the way they sound except for two things, my aerius i don't play loud enough and don't go low enough, is there anyway I can get these two things without going to a bigger Martin Logan, do other dynamic speakers exist that have the speed and transparency and pin point imaging of a Martin Logan?
