| System Goals/Comments: | I am seeking disappearing speakers, and an involving and natural presentation of tone and image Someday I'd like to separate HT and perhaps try tubes (need bigger house) |
| System Strengths: | Certainly my best to date, can be very involving with right recording. Vocals,piano and guitar sound as close to realistic as I've heard. Great at consuming discretionary income (my fault, I suppose)! |
| System Weaknesses: | The Merlins excel at dredging up detail and presenting a wide and seamless soundstage, although a little "hard" tonally. Gershmans are truly a full range speaker, lush and involving, but lack the imaging of the Merlins. |
