Hi Layman,
Interesting thoughts....
So you are saying that you think that the tweeter of the B&W reveals more highs than the smoother Merlin tweeter? Most interesting. I would be very interested to hear what the 1NT sounds like with the tweeter dampened with foam. I would also like to see it. How do you attach the foam?
I regard the Merlin as a much more revealing speaker than the 1NT, - having owned both. I hear/heard much more detail and a much less distorted sound in the mids especially. This is especially evident when putting your ear very close to the speakers. I also thought that the Merlin had better midrange response than the 805.
You seem to know a lot about the Merlins, how do you think that they compare to the 805s?
Thanks for your thoughts.
