Thanks for the constructive contributions, when I typed ohm in the search engine so many unrelated titles appeared hence this thread. To hear so many fans enjoying this speaker and appearing loyal is encouraging. I bought my merlins 4 or so years ago, I got to hear the speaker on the pretense of an educational experience. I asked the seller if I can just stop by because of his proximity to my work place and let him know I was not in the market for a speaker just wanting to broaden my horizons. Well long story short I fell in love with the speaker and it has been with me longer than any other piece I have in my active system, of course it was the earlier purchase. I believe my tt, phono stage, amps and preamps will be with me for as long time as the merlins because of the synergy.
I visit the audio shops now and then to compare and learn, I can't wait for the moment I get to hear a properly setup ohm system who knows I may bite the bullet.
P.S. Since I like the mbl's chances are good I'll like the ohms.
