Good morning Bobby. Opinions have questionable value. Both Allan and I are entitled to have them equally. People often take dissenting opinions personally (as do you and your minions) and embrace supporting opinions as gospel (as do the protectors of the Merlin throne). It's unfortunate that the feelings of the Merlin contingent were injured. If you and your believers are going to dismiss anyone who questions any aspect of the Merlin empire, why the need to defend yourselves? I never questioned you or the speakers directly as I've only heard one of the iterations of them at a friend's home. In fact, I praised you and your customer service on these forums. Internet forums and keyboard conversations seldom result in accurate meanings or intent. If ever, you drive through my neighborhood, you would be welcome to visit, listen to my humble system (critique it if you choose) and engage in a pleasant conversation.
"tears to the eyes good" Merlin Master VSM
Category: Speakers
I own Merlin VSM mme's. Having heard the Masters for the first time last night I can honestly say these speakers have a way of drawing you into the music emotionally to a degree that I have never experienced outside of live music. It is so transparent neutral and highly resolved that you can perceive the individual instruments in an ensemble in a way that allows you be involved with the interplay of the instruments and sense of place and space three dimensionally in your room. More importantly it brings out the energy and essence of the musical performance. Listening to the Gershwin Cuban Overture in hi-res was mesmerizing. Hearing the solo trumpet emerging was startlingly real. Rarely have I heard that instrument reproduced so naturally. There is just so much more of a sense of being sucked into the music that the usual audiophile terms and descriptors just go out the window. Wish I could afford them.
