Listen to the Talon Audio Khites befor you make a purchase. They are the best monitors I've heard (including the merlins, which are very good).
Merlin TSM vs the other top monitors
Hello all - I am looking to downsize my speakers (currently have Thiel 2.3) due to space limitations in my NYC apt. ($2200 a month in rent doesn't go too far in manhattan!!!)
I am looking into several of the top monitors including dynaudio special 25, b&w sig 805, jm labs mini and micro utopia...all are generally well reviewed on here (i've already read most of the archived posts)...but i keep hearing great things about the Merlin's, and would also love to help out the little guy instead of throwning more $ towards a giant company (the populist in me), though sound quality will be the determining factor.
my current system consists of:
plinius sa 100
CJ premier 17 pre amp
cary 303 CD player
room is approx 15x9
while i've liked the thiels, they are too big for the room and i'm also looking for a speaker that is a little more musical and engaging
thanks for your thoughts
