Fantastic info, Brian. You made a heck of a speaker. I would never have guessed that the cost-per-pair would be so high. I remember comparing them to Snell J III's and Vandersteen 2c's and feeling they had the edge in some respects.
The Merlins are pretty amazing, but they have many years of refinement in their favor. In some respects I prefer the old Spicas to the Totems and I have already said the Totem is a very good speaker, even at 3500 dollars. So saying that I prefer the Spica is not a black mark against the Totem; it's just that the Spica TC-60 is STILL remarkable. If Parasound had kept the legend going we'd probably have one of the best monitors alive today, but probably for about 3000 dollars rather than 800. Maybe one day the Spica line will be revived.
