In Reply to: Poll - What *type* of speaker ended your search? posted by Presto on May 30, 2012 at 12:03:30:
Out of curiosity (to me), I'm going to list off the top of my head the speakers I've had over the years:
Fisher Studio Standard (came with receiver)
Bose 301 Series II
Bose 601 Series II
Baby Advents
Advent Laurette
Spica TC-60
Bose 901 Series VI
B&W DM 302
B&W CDM1SE
B&W Nautilus 805
Dunlavy SC-IV
Reference 3A De Capo i
JM Reynaud Trente
Bose 901 Series VI (again)
Acoustic Zen Adagio
Vandersteen 2CE Sigs
Cain & Cain Abby
Dunlavy SC-I
Advent Large
Merlin Master TSM
Magnepan MGIIIA
Right now I've got five pairs in my home (DALx2; IIIA; TC60; Merlin) and am seriously contemplating selling all except the Merlins. Well, and the TC-60 for sentimental reasons (and the busted tweeter).
I've enjoyed the journey quite a bit, and have enjoyed all of the speakers on the list, but the Merlins are just magical! I love soundstage, and they do that better than any speaker I've owned.
I sincerely feel that if more audiophiles had an opportunity to listen to a pair of Merlin speakers, they'd be far more popular than they currently are. A shame, really, because Bobby makes a fantastic speaker.
