Bob,
I didn't say Merlins sounds LIKE Reynauds, this is a shorcut. Not two speakers sound alike. I said that they weren't in opposite camps as you hinted at. In the analytical/hyper detailed vs warm and musical, the Merlins, like Jean-Marie Reynaud, are in the warm and musical category.
There is a common misconception that Merlins sound rather analytical, and your initial post fed that misconception. I don't care if people buy Merlins or JMRs or any other brand. But I will always disagree with any comment stating that the Merlins are cold or lean or analytical, because that's the opposite of what they are. They err on the warm side, they are full-bodied and detail is always presented in a natural, unforced way.
Yes, Merlins and JMRs have more in common than people credit them for. Once more, I'm a fan of JMRs AND Merlins, and there's a reason why. I hate it when my speakers don't convey the natural warmth of music or are clinical/sterile. Well I just described what the Merlins and the JMRs are NOT.
So once more, they have more in common than you hinted at, and are not in opposite categories.
That's all I'm saying.
