Anubisgrau so you are irritated by all the posts of how great the Merlin's are. i know you do not like them and you say many other people do not like them either. please tell us what it is about them that you do not like and why other people do not care for them. Oh by the way have you ever heard a pair of MXe's properly set up in someones home?
rob.
rob, i have no opinion of merlin speakers as i have never heard or seen one but i know it's one of the most frequently reviewed speakers on a'gon, AA and similar boards. on the other hand, i personally know even more people who dislike them. it's very seldom that you'll find a healthy discussion on them, just raving.
personally i can only tell you whole that thing pushed me away from thoughts of buying them. my intuition tells me that not each and every review on the net is actually independent & non-affiliated. i've noticed that many many times. i know how some reviews on 6moons are made. maybe i was paranoid and maybe i missed the speaker of my life but i smelled a rat. sorry.
for example, i think that reference 3A de capo i is the best reasonably priced 2-way speaker on planet and it sells fantastic. according to a dealer i know, it sells much better than merlin.
where the hell are the reviews? i personally don't mind - if i mind i would write one - but i haven't noticed people posting the same review on these on each & every forum around.
anyway, i accept i can be wrong. maybe it's just bad moods -for what i have no reason actually.
