I agree with this. The only thing about trying the Merlins in your own home is that your gear may not be up to the task of getting the best out of them. These speakers or more like a "franchise player" - you build everything else around them. That's what I have done. If there is something better out there then ignorance is bliss because I am happy as hell. I've stopped looking for "my next pair of speakers" like some always seem to be doing. One good thing Bobby has done is make the speakers more accomodating to more equipment via the "s" or "t" harness.If you are going to try them at home I would talk with Bobby about what gear you have and what you can expect. If he is familiar with it and doesn't like it with his stuff, he will tell you. And he'll give you specifics. He gave me that hard news and I'd rather know that than still be looking for answers. (That is what we are all looking for here, right?) Then just have a listen. BTW, you don't have to spend a ton of money to get them singing. Several have had success with the Belles solid state amp. And it doesn't get much easier on the wallet than that. I do have a word of caution, don't listen to the speakers with a high-quality analog front end, good wire and otl amplification - it'll drain your checking account dry. Ask me how I know...
Good luck,
Jim
