Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber

The Merlin speakers have a tremendous past history of development effort and
fine tuning. I've not heard all the SF models, but the ones I have heard (the last
being the Grand Piano) sound nowhere near as "real" to me as the
various Merlin models I've owned.

Seriously? The Grand
Pianos are from 17 years ago. SF's current lines are mind-blowingly musical,
natural, and most of all, seductive and involving.

Anything from their Homage, Olympica, and top lines are friggin' awesome now,
and the entry-level Veneres aren't too shabby either.

You're wrong. You only love the Beatles.

interesting point johnny and agreed. perhaps many should hold judgement on this topic before they hear the new bme versions of the merlins as well.

I couldn't help but notice the many troll addicts on these forums. A sore eye for the ever dwindling bubble community that already exists. It doesn't take much for trolls to come out of closets nowadays with any posts and/or any OP. Furthermore anything costing over 30K - just hire a band to come out into your living room, every Friday night, for a whole year - would be more real than any transducers, light bulb and circuit could put out.
