In Reply to: I tend to ignore reviews posted by E-Stat on January 29, 2008 at 10:48:10:
but those tradeoffs can be very aligned to the reviewer's personal tastes and experience - especially if the reviewer hasn't heard anything "better" or more to his/her tastes. In this particular case, the reviewer may not deem any of the speaker's characteristics to be a tradeoff, especially if he's got it properly setup and in a suitable environment that showcases the speaker's abilities.
personally, the only issue I have with the Merlins is assembling those extremely sharp spiked feet and leveling them properly. If I had them in a larger room I'd add a sub, but the latest lead-free super BAM is an order of magnitude better than the previous version I owned, and there is now excellent depth, weight and "growl" in the bass region. The mids and highs are seamless and totally coherent with the bass. Think QUADs with much more jump factor.
