Go with the company that will give the best long term support , in My humbel openion Merlin is that company HANDS DOWN.. I've listned to ProAc's they sound great, But there us distributer isnt the easyist guy to talk to (I'm being nice ). Merlin on the other hand, is us built and offers upgrades to owners of older models when changes are made. Not to mention, Bobby of Merlin is great to deal with and stands behind the company. I went with the merlin tsm-se's, Thay sound great with tubes, present great (real )bass,detial and clarity. But Thay might be abit bright with solid state gear.
