Matching Merlin VSM's with a Cary SLI-80

The Merlin VSM's in either SE, M, or MX only need about 40 watts for most listening. maybe 80-100 watts for BIG symphonic works at loud volumes in a larger room........ So wattage wise, the Cary definitely works well. Tube rolling to taste. I am more a Manley or Blue Circle or Joule kind of man. But the Cary might be a last stop for you, as it does soundstage well, and is musical as all get out. Maybe Cardas Neutral Ref, Golden Ref, Golden Presence, or even Tg Audio speaker cables and your choice of IC's based on sources and Ac cords.......
