"no i do not think they sound like reynauds..."

Good, that's all I said. Oh yeah, I also said they probably don't sound like Sonus Fabers either, which I assume you would also agree with. So as far as what matters to me in this conversation, we have settled it. The rest is all baloney.

All I meant in criticizing jb's remark is that it's not helpful to say that Merlins sound like Sonus Fabers sound like Reynauds. It is talking about what you like and not what things sound like. My goal, usually, is to help people make distinctions, not run stuff together because it all feels good, or whatever.

I'm not a reviewer any longer but there is still some reviewer in me. And that's what reviewers are supposed to do. Make distinctions, not blur them. The fact that Merlins, Sonus Fabers, Reynauds, Audio Notes all "arrive" at the music, all make their respective listening constituencies happy, is very nice. It is all very nice. But frankly I'm a lot more interested in the differences, both among the speaker lines and the constituencies.
