In Reply to: This is what one reviewer had to say..... posted by Joe M on April 28, 2007 at 20:29:59:
No speaker is perfect (at least not that I've heard) and the Merlins are no exception. Having Merlin VSM-M w/ the upgraded Bam, I can stretch my imagination to understand how they may sound lean and dry to some depending on the components they are matched to. However, the viewer complains of a lack of dynamics and that they must be played loud to "come alive". This is contrary to my experience. I have never found the Merlins to be lacking in dynamics, but, more importantly, they sound more alive to me at moderate volumes than loud. In fact, I think they sound better when not played at ear splitting volumes. True, there could be an explanation that my modestly powered tube amp may be shifting to a class B operation when the decibels are pushed and could account for a less pleasant experience, but I had the same impression when I used a digital amp at 250 watts per channel with plenty of headroom. I'm not saying the reviewer didn't hear what they heard; I'm just perplexed at what they heard because that particular aspect is so inopposite to my own experience and impression.
