Merlin S6
We believe our Merlin Series 6 Bookshelf Speakers are our best to date. Using the latest acoustic performance testing processes, they pack a lot of punch for their size, and out-perform many floor-standing models. Building upon our 2017 award winning bookshelf Merlin MKV speakers, the new Merlin S6 bookshelf speakers will turn an intimate room into a large open sound stage with amazing, room-filling sound. The two-way Merlins use our new low distortion soft dome tweeter partnered with our newly developed light weight 6 1/2 inch mid/bass driver. The development of these new proprietary drivers allows us to take a New crossover design approach. This results in the MERLIN Series 6 being an Exciting Award Winning Entertainment Experience to make you want to start digging through that record and CD collection or start swiping for your favourites from a streaming service.
The Merlin S6 takes out Best Loudspeaker for 2020 ($500-$1,000) at the Sound + Image Awards.
The Merlin S6 Bookshelf Speaker is part of the sixth generation (Series 6) of the Legendary Richter speakers and in this series we wanted to focus on delivering Loudspeakers that meet today’s customer’s expectations and equipment choices.
This meant raising the bar from a visual and performance perspective. New aesthetically pleasing cabinet designs including magnetic mounting grills were drafted as well as the development of all new Propriety drivers which allowed us to take a new cross over design approach.
Staying true to the comment of the brands founder ‘I’m not in the audiophile industry, I’m in the entertainment industry,’ the Series 6 range is designed to deliver an Exciting Engaging Entertainment Experience. We’d like to get you digging through that record and CD collection or start swiping for your favourites from a streaming service.
NEW DRIVERS
Our New 6 1/2” speaker driver cones are made from a pulp comprising of paper, hemp, kapok and wool with an engineered fibre resulting in a very lightweight but stiff driver cone, then sprayed with surface sealant. These new Midrange and Bass drivers developed for the Series 6 Range effectively minimise breakup and roll off resonance. Then partnered with an all New low distortion soft dome tweeter which has a resonance well below 900Hz and the desired phase characteristics of a gently inclined sound pressure level frequency response to over 30Khz.
NEW CROSS-OVERS
These New improved Drivers allowed us to take a New crossover design approach minimising the number of components required in the signal path. High-quality acoustic polypropylene caps with air cored and ferrite cored inductors for the mid/bass range and top end circuits were chosen.
CONNECTORS
Richter Series 6 speakers all use our New heavy-duty, high-Quality gold-plated speaker terminal connectors which can accept a variety of connector types including: bare wire, pin connectors, spade connectors and banana plugs.

Merlin S6
Out of the box very good, after a few days of a varity of music selections fantastic. Then they realy grab your attension, very happy.
I love listening to music, and I love buying Australian products. In the last 6 months I’ve bought a bunch of different Krix speakers both new and secondhand, and I also bought a pair of new (ex-demo) Merlin S6 bookshelf speakers (from Lifestyle store Sydney). Music played through the Merlin S6 just sounds amazing to me, very dynamic, lively sound. Music just comes to life. I find the Krix speakers more neutral, the Merlin S6’s have their own personality. My god, I can’t believe I’m starting to speak like an audiophile, but what I’ve written is absolutely true to my ears, and more importantly, my heart and soul. I’ll keep the Krix in the loungeroom for the home theatre (they are just phenomenal with movies) and I’ll keep the Merlin S6’s in my study where I turn my music up loud.
I have just purchased this product to replace my Richter Harlequins, which I purchased in 1995, which I have used as surround back speakers in may 11:1 sound system. They complete theRichter family in my system complementing the Series 5 Dragons which I have Bi-amped as front speakers and my Series 6 Wizards as surround speakers. Great sound, great product and great price given the quality of Richter Speakers. Keep up the good work guys.
I purchased a set of Merlin S6 speakers in February 2023. This was my first time purchasing this brand but I’m very happy with my choice. I play a range of music from Persian folk music to hiphop as well as a range of electronic music and I have been incredibly satisfied with the accuracy and warmth of sound that these speakers produce. I operate a music studio part time and my ears can become exhausted listening to music through studio monitors but with the Merlin 6 I have found that I can spend many hours listening and enjoying music without the fatigue that comes with studio monitors. I can highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a set of speakers that deliver great sound.
Hi Siyavash,thank you for that great recommendation.
