Piega, Coincident, Avanti III, Merlin can all sound bright. Don't put off any of these very excellent speakers. Each of these speakers are a commitment. Pick any of these and with the right electronics, some work and you will have a wonderful sounding system. Depending on your room, one may work better than another. IMO, you can't go wrong with any of them. If full range is important, check out the Total Eclipse. Has anybody heard a better imaging speaker than the Avanti IIIs? The tonal balance on the Merlin's can be hard to beat. Are you a transparency nut? Piega and Avanti IIIs are two to consider. Are you going to build around you amp? You have to put a lot of thought in what it is you want from a system and don't forget how important the room is. I have yet to hear any Von Schweikert sound right. I don't blame the speaker. Too many reputable people think it is one of the best in it's price range. Good luck, I sincerly mean that.
I need some advice on speakers..
I'm selling my Martin Logan Odysseys to try a speaker with a smaller footprint. My room is fairly small 15X18, and I have a glass door on the right side of the room. On speaker will wind up more in the corner than the other due to a hallway.
The speakers I've been thinking about are:
The new Audio Physic Virgo III
The Von Schweikert VR-5
The Merlin VSM-M
The Coincident Super Eclipse
The VMPS monitor speaker the small on with the two 8's.
