Good match for Merlin?

Looking to see what the feedback is for matching my system with the VSM Merlin 2-ways (MM). Currently running Ayre CX7e - BAT 51SE - Ayre V1-Xe - Hydra 8. Tara labs IC and speaker cables. Room size is 16X26. Listen to mostly jazz and female vocals at med volume. Would appreciate any feedback from individuals who have a similiar set-up as myself.
Cheers

1markr,
I take it by your comments and your system threads, you approve of the Ayre match. Would you give me some additional insight other than unselfishly saving me from "sonic euphoria"?

Lyp,
I have only recently gotten my amp back from Ayre, but what I perceive is an increase in the bottom end, along with a marginal increase in the backround "Blackness". I run balanced throughout, so the backround was always good, just seems like its improved now. My CDP was purchased new with the "e" upgrade, so I do not have any comments on how this changed its playback. In addition, I just ended up going a different route with the speakers (Tara Labs Micro Be's).
Hope this was helpful.
