Merlin and Joule are a match made in heaven. There's a reason Merlin is always shown with Joule gear. It's THAT good together!
Good preamp with Merlin TSM speakers?
I own Merlin TSM bookshelf speakers which are nicely detailed but a bit on the dry side with my Modwright 9.0 se preamp. I'm looking for a preamp to warm up the sound and thinking about CJ tube pre. Suggestions, ~$2k or under? I like the detail of the Modwright but would like more flesh on the bone. I use Tube Audio Design ss monoblock power amps ("Hibachi").
