I am looking at something totally inaccurate - at present, balance of music-making, money-saving, seems best served by LV OBX and Sugden A21. The Sugden is a great match with the LV - better than the Dynavectors which sound musclebound, yet are much better intrinsically, so long as they're asked to do some work - I took the DVs home and they were so shockingly good with the Shahinian Super Elves that I had to remove them immediately. I've been eyeing up the LV for a while since down-sizing seems much easier if based around efficient speakers. I wanted Shahinians but would need to keep the DVs - the Neats and the DVs are my hi-fi assets, the sources will stay put.
BTW I heard no problem at Mike's bass-wise at all but understand the Merlins, if only to free up a bit of living space.
