Aint no joke these speakers are a steal. The cabinets are nicely finished but not the most dead. I suspect the x-over and driver could be transfered to a better box and sound would improve. For the price there is little reason to bother.I think this speaker comapres with those in the 100-300 range. I can't wait to run them with my tube amp. Vocals are pretty solid. Damn right there is some sibilance. Remember at 50$ a pair out the door what you get. Quite honestly these are a damn fine buy. The drivers alone are worth 50$. The carbon and rubber surround looks awsome. The coaxial design lends to a very well integrated sound. I can hear a 2-way box without the distinct separatings of tweeter and woofer. It is a bit directional but simply sweet sounding. I dont think there is every going to be a better deal on these. If they have them when I get my next paycheck I am going to buy another pair in case I damage them. I would like to see these reviewed on TNT with higher end electronics. I think they will have to acknowledge this is the best buy for the budget minded audiophile. These are a fun musical speaker. I am glad I bought them. They arent broken in yet. One inmate claims the Infinity Primus is better sounding. I don't know because I havent heard them but to me they are ugly. These speakers look good with the grills off and sound better too. I am really glad somebody posted about these. Thanks for trying them and reporting back. Now we can help all poor audiophiles by recommending these speakers. They are wonderful. Anybody who complains about lacking this and that is crazy. 50$ a pair! All I can say is 50$ you are getting more than you pay for. Now off to enjoy the music before work... |

$3800 isn't bad for a two way, posted on June 11, 2006 at 20:42:44 | |
OOPS! I was thinking of $3800 for a Merlin TSM-MX, not $38.00. Merlins are probably 100 times better. :-) |

While the sound of them will change after burn in. The measured frequency response does not. |
It's all about the 12 foot line array version. See pic..., posted on June 12, 2006 at 19:47:33 | |
