MERLIN OWNERS: Need Suggestions on Amps/Preamps


Looking for what combinations anyone has found that works well with Merlin in 2 channel as well as Home Theater. Would prefer to get a higher end Preamp Processor that will cover both 2 channel and HT. Also what amp(s) would you pair up with your choice of a preamp/processor to drive the Merlin VSM-M's the best? Appreciate all feedback.

I am now going throught the saem thing. I have the Merlins paired with Rogue 99 Pre and Rogue M120 Mono's. I like this combo a lot musically, but quite frankly have not heard much else with the Merlins. Im afraid to hear them with Joule Electra.

But I did find that this setup is lacking in the HT, blow yer socks off Dept.

My next steps would be to add another sub, and setup a seperate amp system for HT. I was looking at some old Aragon stuff, 8008x3 and (2) 8002x2 amps. Per Bobby, the dampining factor on thoses should be ok to use with the tube harness.
