interesting point johnny and agreed. perhaps many should hold judgement on this topic before they hear the new bme versions of the merlins as well. regards, bobby at merlin

ladavid, in doing a little research i found that the op owns a pair of tsm mm's. this version was certainly one of my favorites because it had a very transparent and expansive sound. i was going to respond with possible reasons for his findings until he was called a shill and troll which knocked him out of the discussion. no doubt that there are many who shill and troll on these forums but i have no knowledge of him or the reason for his post (other than to get some information from this forum). if it were me i might have asked my question a little differently at least so it was not as leading. i find this sad because there are a few obvious design differences between sf and merlin products. if the op had contacted me i would have explained these to him but he came here for help and this is what he got. jmtc. bobby at merlin
admranger, this is a very good question. the black magic versions are more relaxed in the lower treble and upper mids so they do not suffer from the additve aspects of boundary refelctions (like the prevoious models). plus they may benefit from the additional boundary reinforcements for you as well. usually, when you move a speaker back in the room like this the focus and layering suffer. the only way around this is to damp the reflections on the rear and side walls. not necessary with the black magic edition. the bme's are much more user friendly. thank you for the thoughtful question. bobby at merlin
vangster, fyi, your black magic merlins use the vented renaissance tweeter, a greatly improved cryoed musicap, a solder formulation change and termination enhancement. agreed, the black magic tsm is "truly different" sounding than the original master tsm, the mmm. thank you. bobby at merlin
