Merlin TSM comparisons

Hi,

I've been reading up lately on all kinds of monitors, and have been intrigued by Merlin's TSM. The latest iteration is the mmi, I believe.

If you've heard the TSM lately, especially in comparison to other, current monitor offerings out there, I'd love to hear your opinions. I know that there are other Merlin threads on Audiogon but I am especially interested in hearing from folks who have compared them to others, especially if you've lived with them.

Yes the TSM directions and positioning the speakers correctly makes a big difference. Even a slight adjustment can make a big difference and the angled wood tool,I forgot the name, that comes with the speaker is easy to use so even a klutz like me can get it right.

Back to the "comparison" part of this thread's subject, for a moment. Any of you folks ever gotten to compare TSM's to Green Mountain Audio products? I was reminded of this when
I noticed a pair of Green Mountain Audio Callistos up on sale here. Thoughts?

m, the impedance has been corrected so it is constant and a little high making them particularly tube friendly but they are still wonderful with ss. there is a review link to andio morotti the founder of fedelta del suono in italy on the main page of the merlin site. in it he discusses his feelings of the tsm with ss and tubes. perfectly described imho. it is a review of the tsm mme which is the predecessor to the mmi. the hf circuit in the tsm is q circuited.
best regards,
bobby

Never mind, I retract my last question! I just discovered a huge (and pretty cantankerous) "Merlin TSM versus Green Mountain Calisto" thread. One of those is enough!
