Harbeth Compact 7 or Merlin TSM

I am in the market to buy a pair of large bookshelf speakers. Instead of looking for a 'Hi-Fi' speaker that give you all of the descriptions that you will find in the audio review magazines or websites, I am looking for a pair of musical speakers that will get my 'emotion' involve when I listen to them. I have narrow down to 2 pair of speakers that I believed are capable of achieving that based on the owner reviews and experience I read.

So, I am looking for anybody have experiences with both of them and share some of your opinions with me.

Thanks,
Tuck

macd, what version of the vsm did you own? earlier versions sounded somewhat raw and as time passed their musical nature was profoundly enhanced. the tsm is a lot more forgiving than the vsm and latest tsms are renouned for their easy listening character.
i would not recommend anything earlier than the mme if musicality is important to you.

it should be obvious that there is no way to make everyone happy.:-) too many different tastes involved in this.
tuck, the master tsm uses a new cabinet material and construction, is wired with cardas clear geometry wire and uses duelund copper foil caps in critical locations. the mx-r is the same speaker wired with cardas 15 gauge and standard rc's unless you pay the extra sum for the master rc's.
why not e-mail or call me at the factory for a more complete explanation. contact info is on the merlin web site. i would also like to explain the differences between the vsm and tsm which would be very interesting.
thank you.
