Speaking of jazz, do you mean warm and forgiving like Charlie Parker, Wayne Shorter, Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, John Coltrane, John Zorn, etc. I listen almost exclusively to jazz and classical music and had a pair of warm and forgiving speakers before I got a pair of VSM's. I was bored by those speakers and missed the nuance and detail that is the essence of music. Merlins are tonally accurate and easy to listen to (with my equipment) when the music is supposed to be warm. But it seems to me that speakers that are warm on all recordings, even those recordings that are not supposed to be soft and fuzzy, have colored the music in an unacceptable way. Indeed, such speakers commit what is to me the inforgivable sin: they make music boring. All I can say os that since my merlins arrived six months ago, I listen to too much music (and do not practice my instrument enough) -- no listener fatigue here. I wonder if people who are criticizing the VSM's have really listened to them. Of course, I understand that differenct folks like different speakers, but the negative descriptions of the Merlins in this thread are not accurate.
