Tvad,
I ordered the Filarmonia last March and expect to be getting it soon.
Yikes.
My only criticism would be the lack of preamp outputs and remote control, but the trade off is worth it for world class sound.

The lack of preamp outputs is a potential dealbreaker, but it does have tape outputs, and therefore a sub can be connected if one utilizes speaker level converters like those sold by ACI.
I do get the impression that the Ars-Sonum is perhaps best suited as an ideal match for the Merlins as opposed to other loudspeakers.
Thanks for your description of its sound. It appears in keeping with Bobby's goals as one would expect.
