You have the ability to tweak the crossover to YOUR liking, that is of course if you have the knowledge and equipment to do so, which I do. Hu, why do those manufacturers stay in business? Profitability! Merlin offers a superb product, I agree. I've heard DIY speakers that have used the same S-S driver and Dynaudio tweeter that I've liked more that the Merlins. I've compared these DIY MTM's (with some slight crossover mods) to my previous commercial speaker that I gave to my father, Audio Physics Virgos $$$. A very musical speaker indeed, I along with others agreed that the MTMs were more involving and had equal tonal balance (coherance). The simple fact is that I've spent under $1000 on a pair of speakers that I had the best time building (I built the cabinets) and I (I repeat "I" me my me me me they are MY speakers) love listening to them even though they cost 1/5 of my last comercial speaker.
