You are, as always, gracious, but what I was asking for was not an explanation of why or how you do what you do and what your goals are. That is your business. It is also true that designers who get their designs right hear what they intended, which is their sense of what music sounds like. So they are seldom in a position to describe their work as one might who doesn't not have their particular ears. This may finally be why most designers describe the sound of their speakers the same way: they say, in essence, that they are accurate. Meaning they sound "right" to the designer, which is as it should be. Even Jean Marie says this, as he should.
What I have always felt was needed was someone who is not you describe in comparative terms what Merlins sound like. Which is another way of asking what do Bob P's ears sound like, compared with Peter Q's, Jean Marie's, Alan S? What is Merlin's point of view on music? Not what does its designer intend, which is, as I say, to get it right so it satisfies the designer.
So perhaps I misspoke when I said "Even you" could do a better job at describing the Merlin sound. What you could do, probably better than anyone, is describe what you intend. We need - not me, the world out hunting for speakers - someone who can tell us where Merlins fit into the big speaker picture.
