I have heard a JL2 powering Merlin-VSM-M speakers, I was for lack of a better word-awe struck by their performance. I only listened to them for one afternoon, but they are on my wish list of amps, fwiw there are only 3 other amps on the list with the JL2, all are tube and this happens to be the middle of the road price wise. I think if they are in your budget you owe it to yourself to listen to them a great product. I had an opportunity to have a meal with Kenny from convergent and he is simply a genius, and can explain things in terms that even I can understand.
