Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

ah, we should just agree...

to disagree!
i still have no idea what fr plot you are using to make these statements. certainly fletcher-munsons have bearing on the design the more you make it for nearfield aps. the sfs sound great neirfield but the merlins are designed to do something very different and to be listened at 9.5 feet or more away. so, if you did a power response plot of the vsm at 2.5 meters or more away, it would show something quite different than the nearfield ones taken by mr. atkinson. figure 9 just starts to show this.
since what is accurate really depends on personal taste and its intended use, i think, imho should follow "the Merlin would sound more detailed, but the Guarneri's mellower sound is definitely more accurate." you still may not like the merlin sound or the way it is designed to work but do you not think it fairer to pass judgement after you listen to the vsm mme or mxe? will you be in nyc for the stereophile show. if so, come by and say hello and listen for yourself.

bobby
