amps for Merlin VSM-MXE


Hi guys,

Soon to be selling my anniversary Yamaha NSX-10000 and taking delivery of brand new Merlin MXE speakers.

Bobby tells me these new speakers are much friendlier to solid state designs...anyone using the MXE's yet and how do they fare?

I used to own the vsm-mm model with a modded Berning otl...both are now sold!

I also found that the little Leben CS-300X worked alarmingly well...enough to convince me that i could sell the Berning, use the Leben and save a bit of cash for the MXE's!

It seems that the market is choc full of very high quality amps at the moment! I was wondering about the red wine sig 30 myself.

Ars Sonum Filarmonia, Joule, Cary, Dartzeel and have heard VAC gear sounds stunning. Its all a matter of taste and budget.
Tabl10s,
Not sure by experience with dartzeel. But I did get my info about this match up through a dealer who carries both Merlin and Dartzeel and he mentioned that the sound was pretty good. If you like a more of rolled off or syrupy sound then tubes will work for you. If you want resolution other qualities this amp brings and money isn't a matter to you, then you might like the sound of dartzeel. Again, its a matter of taste and budget.
