Who stay with Merlin longest time

I would like to support the idea that you can own Merlin speakers for good:

I am a professional violinist
(you will find me, if necessary); i have not personal affiliation to the producer.
I own VSMs now for quite some years. They are good.

and (this is now directed at that dissenting voice)

I have started using TSM MXM's (let me use them a little more, before i explain what i hear) in my living room -
Going in and out of studios with what-ever-you-want speakers i feel this is THE speaker to have.
Cult it will be, lets hope!!

14 years for me(SE's, Millenium's and MX's).

Because they are COOL!!

Not only interesting how long folks own their Merlins, but how many people stopped looking to change speaker once having Merlins in the fold. I owned many speaker before, but once I got on to the Merlin trail, I simply don't think about other speakers anymore - and those that own them understand why.

Great story about Merlin and Bobby!

I hope he's not turning red from the comments, but that's what you get when handling customers properly. Pabul, I too have pretty much ended the endless wheel of auditioning stuff after buying the TSM's. I do on occasion listen to a BIG speaker and I plan on VSM's soon.
