Lucky you,my VSM-MM's are coming around after a couple hundred hours and are terrific.I dont notice a diff with the BAM on AC or Batt...the little jumpers you put on the back I have tried with and without to no diff sound ,yet? I have listened to an Ayre V5x,Berning ZH270 and my own Counterpoint,the Berning was tops,slightly more open than the Counterpoint,tubes are surely best[so far]...peace......Bob
MERLIN.....Thank You.
To all Merlin Owners and Agon Members
I would like to take this opertuinity to thank all of you who have contributed/ansered my and others threads regarding the Merlin VSM speakers.Your input have been extremely helpful in my decision to purchase this fine example in the art of speaker manufacturing.
Thank you to Bobby and all at Merlin,the quality of your service is a rare find.
My speakers arrived four days ago and are now being run in.At this stage I can confirm what you have all said,that these are special speakers.They are the most natural sounding speakers I have ever heard.Amazing,unforced music reproduction at the highest level.
A few questions :
1)Zobel network.How do most of you use the speakers with or with out the network.What are the differences I can expect ?(I use a Pathos Logos amp, which as far as I know do not have a Zobel network)
2)BAM module.Which way of switching do you prefer,AC,50/50 or Battery alone.Again what would the expected differences be ?
3)How long can I expect the batteries of the BAM to last ?
As always your input will be greatly appreciated and highly valued.
