I have enjoyed my 3.8s for over a year now. They are very laid back, accurate, neutral and have a lot of resolution. They will not deliver thundering bass nor will they blow you out of the room. However, they can play loud enough for me (well over 105 decibels) with my Accuphase P-450 amp (200wpc), and are a pleasure to listen to for long periods without fatigue. IMO they are not the best Rock-n-Roll speaker, Klipsch comes to mind. I have heard a lot of good things about the Merlins both from people in the industry and on internet forums, but you should seek input from an owner.
Merlin VMS versus VMPS RM-40 versus Proac 3.8
Has anyone had a chance to listen and compare any of these speakers? Unfortunately there are not dealers nearby, so any input you can give is much appreciated. They will probably be paired with Pass amplification and Tact 2.0 room correction used as a pre.
Thanks.
