Merlin TSM-M vs. B&W Sig. 805


Currently have the signature 805s and am happy with them but the guys in the know seem to really like the Merlins. How do they compare?? Can the Merlin's be used with home theater i.e. are they shielded? Any help on the tsm is appreciated as I have never seen or heard them.

are you aware that there are mm and mx versions of the tsm? the m version was discontinued at the beginning of 2004.
the mm and mx have changes to the q circuit which allows the speakers to play at incredible levels without distortion or dynamic compression. the cold tempering of the networks makes these speakers sound more resolved, more dynamic, more room filling, relaxed and believable.
there have also been a number of discussions about this comparison on audioasylum so you may want to look in the archives there. audio review will offer owners comments on the mm and mx upgrades on the latest tsm and vsm pages.
good luck.
