Merlin TSM with Shindo 25 watt amp

Anyone using Merlins with Shindo amps? I am considering the pairing, but it seems somewhat uncommon. Anyone with experience with the amp/speaker combo? Bobby from Merlin is convinced that it would work. I have a mid-large size room and listen at moderate levels most of the time.

Mikeyc8,

I don't think "loudness" should be the only criteria here.

Agreed. I should have said something like, "plenty of slam and dynamics." :-)

FWIW, I am running my TSM's in a 16 x 13 x 8 room with a pair of Manley Mahi monoblocks. I never take 'em out of triode mode (20 watts/channel) and they play PLENTY loud for me! I've tried them in UL mode (40 watts/channel) and I miss that glorious triode midrange. Yes, it's a matter of taste, but in a medium small room, they'll go plenty loud on 20 watts.
