Merlin VSM vs. Gallo Reference 2 or 3

Has anyone out there ever compared the sound of the Merlin VSM series of speakers to the Gallo Reference 2 or 3 speakers? I own the Gallo Reference 2 speakers and run them with a Berning ZH270 amp and Supratek Syrah tube preamp. I love the sound from this combo, but I am curious if anyone has heard the Merlins (any incarnation) and the Gallos (maybe at a CES show or in a system) in someones home. I know the Berning and Merlin is supposed to be a magic combo. I could never afford a new set of Merlins, but might consider a used set. What is the difference soundwise in the various in carnations of this speaker?

Actually the Stereophile review is of the VSM Millenium. And from what I understand as good as the Millenium was the VSM-MM and VSM-MX are even better.

I auditioned the VSM-MM and it knocked my socks off. It will be my next speaker.

Cheers
