B&W Signature 805s v. Merlin TSM-Ms ?

I am looking for small, monitor-type high-end speakers to sit on end-tables in a 18x20 foot room. Wife doesn't want large and loud; I like clarity. I have a sub if necessary. I've heard the 805Sigs. and liked them, haven't heard the Merlins, though recommended to me. Suggestions/comments re these and/or others most welcome.

I've got the 805s and love them. MHO, if you like the sound of the sigs. after hearing and haven't heard the Merlins, go with the Sigs. You know what your getting.

I have the Sig 805's and really enjoy them.
I did hear the Merlins on one occasion recently and
thought they were good as well. Adding a sub to
the Sig 805's does provide a lot more flexibilty. I
plan on adding a sub once I have the space for it.

Good luck

The sigs require good stands to get the most from them. Time to get some custom made end tables made from rock maple with 100lbs of lead buried in them. That way you can get the most from you speakers and appease the wife at the same time.

Good luck,
