Itch, I currently own the SF Guarneri's. They are a very hard speaker to beat IMHO. I have heard the MMX's at a friends and they too are a great speaker. In my very small room, 10X11 with a 15'
vault ceiling, the G's are truly amazing. I suspect that the larger
Merlin's will probably be too much for such a small room. I drive my G's with a Rowland model 8 with choke and all my 'phile friends put this system in their top five.
BTW, I feel that the new Mementos are in fact lacking in regards to the original model. Listening in an 'AB' the M's were not as resolving and seemed less accurate than the H's. Many including myself, believe that the new drivers in the M's are in fact inferior to the H drivers. The Esotar is used by Merlin and in the H's. This driver is still SOTA IMHO.
As some of the above posters have said the Auditor's really are not in the same league as the G.My G's replaced the Hales System 2 Sig's
in my system, and these were no slouch.( Most people feel that this was Paul Hales best speaker!)..The G's are far more resolving and have way better palpability than the Hales; along with their superior imaging and better reproduction of timbre they are a major upgrade.
