I thought I was being pretty explicit, guess not. I think of the speaker spectrum as being warmer and more euphonic moving to the left, cooler, more detailed, then insistent and assertive moving to the right. I found, on one hearing, that Merlins were a bit more insistent, assertive than I have since found Harbeths. And I find Harbeths a bit more assertive (with Harbeths, I'd call it direct) than Spendors. Reynauds, the newer ones, can sound like Spendors though, as I've said elsewhere, I find them a little less transparent, less clear, more opaque. So I guess, now that I've trapped myself on this simple-minded graph, I might put the Reynauds I've heard to the left of Spendors, though they're enough alike that amps, etc. can make the difference. Okay?
