Viridian- I do like your thinking. If my man isn't to remote, he should go to dealers in his area toward the end of the week and see if they won't let him take home and audtion over the weekend. The latest Merlin monitors are getting a lot of press about their "accuracy". Their acoustic suspension designs as opposed to ported so their bass may be tauter and with better timbre than the latter designs but with less abundance. The word accuracy makes me think of Dynaudio, as well (Contour series and up). Chances are, my man may not know what's gonna groove him the most. In home auditions are the way to go.
