Re: My two cents...

I don't think I expressed a preference in my remarks at all -- actually I set out expressly not to. When you say, "however different they might be from the Sonus, I don't things they're in opposite camps at all," you are already saying a lot more than I did. All I said was that they are very different sounding, not likely to be confused with each other. I don't think anyone in audiophile history has ever confused a Sonus Faber speaker with a Merlin. And I expect Mr. Palkovic and Sr. Serblin would agree with me. I am not talking about camps here, just different sonic presentations.

You are reading my history into my remarks. Truth is, I'm not really a fan of either, which has NOTHING to do with their quality, of course, and everything to do with me. And my aural memory, since I've heard either in quite a while now. But if today's Merlins sound like Reynauds, perhaps I'd better find a way to hear the current Merlins. I'll have to say I find that hardly believeable, but who knows? And actually, I don't think it would necessarily be a good thing if Merlins have come to sound like Reynauds. Merlins have made a LOT of people happy for a LONG time sounding like Merlins! And the same goes for Sonus Fabers and Reynauds.
