I discovered that the Mahler and Studio require a Large amp to get the performance out of them so......I've been leaning towards the Merlin VSM due to the amazing reviews that come from every direction and the fact that the speakers can be powered by 17 watts or less of tube amp. The only thing thats holding me back about these is the new Sonus and the Silverline speakers. They seem to have a little deeper bass and I'm not a sub type so this is a positive attribute.
I noticed the Merlin appears to have the same tweeter as the Silverline La Folia and the Eggleston Rosa.
I wish the new sonus were here in the states and maybe I could demo any of the final 3 or 4 but here in dallas I haven't found a place yet??
Thanks for reading!
