Is 40w int. tube amp enough to feed MerlinVSM

Before I seeking help and advise from Bobby, I would first like to thanks all for your comment. To give a little more information of my system, my listening room is a 11' wide by 13' long feet room, and my speaker placement is about 1.5 feet behind and side wall so it is about 6 feet apart toe-in. I do have a older version of A/C bam with transformer from 220v to 110v (due to I am living in the far east 15 timezone away from you guy) just put it beside by my CD player on my glass top rack. Please note that I do not have the RC networks and the Z feet.

I am sure is it my personal preference problem of favoring thicker sound or what, as the system itself perform very musical with a very wide soundstage, however I just feel that it is not human enough with the touch sort of feeling.

Bobby,
you are the best in help for all Merlin User.

Will test again as you are suggested.

I do have the newer version of your Merlin jumpers. And the speakers binding post is the single knob Cardas version as well. I have also already have the alignment tools and hook up the bam loop between the CDP to my integrated amp.

I had just see a fairly good deal on a pair of the Atma-Sphere MA-1 (the first version 100w mono block http://www.atma-sphere.com/reviews/tas/index.html) come across, is it a good match to the VSM, if so, what pre-amp will make a good match? or should I just start look for a pair of vintage Quad II, as there is no Joule overhere.

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Michael
