Merlin 1B

Hi,

Does anyone know about Merlin 1B speakers? How they sound? Appears they were made in the early 90's. Floor standers, two ways.

Thanks
Rich

These speakers where absolutely wonderful to listen to. Being a classical musician I expect my sound to in speakers to make instruments sound like they should sound and the concert Halls to also be properly represented. At the time I bought the speakers in 1986 I could not find a speaker under 2500 thaqt even was in the same league. Of course my new TSM's are far better but still the old 1B's where always a fine speaker. I met Bobby when he was at Paul Heath ( not sure of spelling) Audio in rochester when I was studying at the Eastman school of music and Bobby has always been a pleaser to talk to. The only issue if you are thinking bying some used 1B's is the wrap around the speakers may be dried out but I think you may still be able to get some cloth from MERLIN Steve www.haefnermusic.com
