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

Oh hell, Bobby, even you could give a more particular and less hyperbolic description of your speakers than Mr. B did. Your speakers have a sound, a particular sound, a very popular sound, which has stood up for a good many years now. If they couldn't be distinguished from the competition in more specific language than "transparency," "resolution," "window on the proceedings," etc. they would have flopped a long time ago and you'd be selling shoes. Whether I like them or not is immaterial. I like Reynauds, for chrissakes, which are far less "transparent," "resolving," or "windowlike" than Merlins. All I'm saying, besides sideswhiping Mr. B for being a little over the top writing as a dealer and Bored Member, is that using language like this to describe speakers these days is unnecessarily (and un-usefully) evasive. To be fair, you're not alone in this. Peter Q and Alan S use virtually the same language to describe Audio Notes and Harbeths...and none of these three sound anything like one another. So maybe we shouldn't ask designers to describe their speakers. But dealers should be able to do better if they want credibility.
