| Merlin TSM comparisons Rebbi, if it's any consolation, Vegas was only giving you small odds of sticking with the long shot LSAs. Vegas odds on you are running significantly higher regarding the Merlins! These seem to be a big hit with many! | |

| Advice Please...H/K or NAD? Keep the one that sounds better to you. | |

| Curious about Emerald Physics speakers I don't think the unique EP approach would have any special bearing on source quality considerations.The EP are the kind of speakers that I look forward to hearing someday, ie a different and innovative design that has potential to break new price... | |
