JM Reynaud Trente to GMA Callisto or Merlin TSMMe?


I'm thinking of selling my beloved JM Reynaud Trente's and upgrading to something better. I'm thinking maybe GMA Callistos or Merlin TSM-MMe. Would these speakers be an upgrade or a side step compared to what I have now?

I've never heard the Merlins or GMA's but do advise to listen to the JMR's.
After a lot of audio-nervosa I settled with the Offrande's and.., Jean Marie has introdused a new version, the Offrande Signature which is supposed to be - haven't listened to them yet - are faster then the former version without losing the specific Reynaud 'signature'.

Good luck with your decision..!
Yo2,
I have owned plenty of JMR's speakers and love them. But saying that the Offrande destroyed the Merlin VSMs? There must've been something seriously wrong in the system (synergy?). The VSMs are in EVERY respect better than the Offrandes. One would have to step up to the latest Concordes Sig. to play in the VSMs' league.
That said, the Trenté is an amazing speaker and actually better, in my opinion, than the Offrande (I've owned both).
Thanks everyone for your responses. I really do like the sound i'm getting with my Trentes, but a little more in the image/soundstage depth and dynamics departments would be very welcomed. With that said, I think I'm going to hold on to these speakers a little while longer and concentrate on room treatments first. The Trentes are are good enough for now :)
