RE: Yes I agree these are very nice sounding speakers, but there are a no substitutes

My apologies in advance for the somewhat bold adjustment of the subject of your posting, but I do have a point I wll try to make here....

All the speakers you mention are very fine and good products. As well, to this listener, they are ALL very clearly VERY different than the Merlin VSMs. They all have certian similar traits (character, fingerprint or voicing depending on what terms one likes to use) which you (and many other folks too) prefer... and which the VSMs do not have. The VSMs (and the TSMs too) do without these traits in order to deliver a more uniform, continuous and pure sound in order to offer (IMO) a more honest and more and true window to the the music and the gear through which it is being played. In order to accomplish what they do, no, they are not inexpensive(though if made by the other companies you mention, the speakers would cost considerably more than what the VSMs retail for).

So, I am sure you will still like what you like independant of what I may say here, I am not trying to change your mind here but trying to give some perspective (mine) to other readers on your comments. I will close up with a analogy of sorts if you will.... You may prefer a Mustang GT, Honda S2000, Miata, or Soltice GXP as a acceptable or even preferred (less less exepnsive) substitue to a Porsche GT3 or a Corvette Z06 (or ZR1!)... but for others, there is no substitute.

Happy Listening,
