Hi Alleria

See what happens when you cross Merlin Owners? :). Certainly everyone won't agree on the VSM's but one can't overemphasize how good this system can be. Whether you heard them at there best I can't say but as a 2 year owner I can only say they do it for me but it DID take a while to get there, system matching is very critical. They are neutral as it gets. I really like the Harmonic Tech Truth Link interconnects which work very well. I've done a lot of playing around with different speaker cables. As Celluloid notes, it can make a dramatic difference.

I read your very thoughtful objective review with music you're familiar with. I can only say that you really have to hear a REAL well recorded piano reproduced with an OTL amp to know how well they get it right. Every recording of Diana Krell I've heard makes the piano sound electronic. Whatever you heard in your review would be most likely attributable to the recording or ancillaries, not the speaker. They are Class A speakers all the way. Seems you have found your nirvana and who could argue with Quads? Me, I'll take the Merlins!!
