Bob,
There are plenty of professional reviews all over the net, and accessible from Merlin's website, describing how the Merlins sound in details. I don't believe either me - as a man who loves them - or a person who doesn't like them, would be objective enough, and would bring anything more to the table than what has been written about them already.
Plus, as you very well know, describing sound is very difficult, if only because we might not use the same words. The only thing I have to say is I love the Merlins for the way they "communicate" as opposed to how they "sound". I realize how vague it is but it's this feeling that they only play for you, that they whisper to you, that they do open a black hole in front of you and drag you head first into the music. The Reynauds do the same, which is why I compared them once, much to your chagrin. And they share a generally rather warm signature as opposed to cold and analytical.
I think that for more precise opinions, one shoud listen to them and read real reviews.
