Feeding the troll here, but...
Okay, Jimbo2. Over the 25 odd years I've been in seriously into this hobby I've owned:
Vandersteen 2c's
Totem Arro's
Ohm Micro Walsh Tall's and 100 S-3's
Silverline Preludes (briefly)
Ascend Sierra 1's (very briefly)
PSB Synchrony 1B's (briefly)
LSA1 Statements (twice!)
Green Mountain Audio Rios
So I've had more than a few highly regarded loudspeakers in and out of my rig, and the Merlin TSM-mmi's (which I've now had for just over a year and which I just upgraded to Master RC's) are wonderful. They are resolving, musical, coherent, and create musical beauty. That's not to say that I don't continue to be fascinated with loudspeakers of various designs... I'll be at RMAF this year listening to all the goodies on display. But to trash the Merlin brand wholesale, as well as its talented designer, is patently unfair and uncalled for.
Merlin may or may not be your cup of tea, but it's a quality product made with love and integrity... no doubt in my mind about that.
