Speakers Before Merlin TSM-MM

I had a pair of Reference 3A. When I got the TSM-MX they made the 3A sound broken. Big whole in the upper midrange.
I use a pair of Atma-Sphere M60 which I built from kits 5 year ago and I continue to upgrade.
I use a REL Strata II subwoofer.

b&w signature 805s, great and beautiful. Merlins are in a different league. Additionally, being able to speak with the owner/creator with any questions is priceless.

Proac Studio 100. The Merlins are light years ahead of most stand mounts. None that I have heard come close.

Thanks for the responses!
Any more?

I think they're an excellent speaker, if a bit shy of resolve and razor sharp refinement of the VSM
