I have owned many speakers including Merlin VSM's, Silverline Sonata's, Gallo Nuc Ref 3's, Talon Khorus xII's and many others. Some of these cost up to $10,000 - $18,000 new. However, the speaker I have enjoyed the most is the Usher 6381. Very, very formidable speaker. Build and sound quality are the best value I have heard in high end speakers. Cost is $3000 with a slight dealer discount new.
Does everything so right. Speakers are full range and always in control of the music. So intimate souding! Anyway, that is my 2 cents worth. I felt they outperformed the Merlin in every way and I love the Merlin VSM so much I owned it twice.

Merlins are good, but I have heard better for the money including Silverline Sonata II's and III's. Usher speakers also better the Merlin including the 6381 for $3400 new. The Merlins are up to $10,000! Wow! BTW I have owned the VSM's twice as well as the other speakers listed. Again, Merlin is very good, but others are as good for a lot less money.
