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 used to own a belles 350a which was a nice amp, but the CTC BBQ (reborn as the parasound JC1s) just ate it for breakfast. do take a look at these world class SS monoblocks---they are incredible.

also, i used to own joule la100mk2---slow and thick in the lower mids, no freq extremes. makes for a nice match w/ harsh SS gear, but for good SS / tube gear, it will be too much.
