"How do you attach the foam?"
I don't use foam. I use felt. I attach it to the baffle with rubber cement.
"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."
The Merlins use more much more expensive drivers and crossover components and retail for 2 to 4x the price of the B&W CDM1NTs, so their ultra-refined performance is really no mystery.
