need help with Merlin vsm mme for home theater


thinking of buying vsm mme, my questions are, is it possible to use my Jlaudio f113 subwoofer with the speakers and not use the Bams? or do the bams have affect on the mids?
What is meant by RC's?
Is anyone using the vsm for home theater?
Since they're not demanding at 89db I was thinking of using my Arcam avr400, I know the speakers sound great with tube amp but I'm interested in a HT set up with what I have right now.
any input would be very helpful.
Thank you

I would call Bobby at Merlin, I'm sure he would be happy to guide you through this. Not sure why, but I can't recall hearing from anyone that was using the Merlins through an AVR, which doesn't mean it is not being done....
I'm sure I read a thread here about the ideal subwoofer xver points for the Merlins.
Bobby has a loyal following because he is loyal to his customers and his product - he wants you to have a good experience with your Merlins, know that satisfied customers help create more customers over time. Bobby is a great designer, the Merlins are very well sorted speakers - no flavor of the month, and Bobby is very helpful when you reach out. He may very well reply here before you get a hold of him.....
They will sound perfectly fine with the Straightwire, assuming the connections are all good. I would think about cables till you have at least a year with your new toy!
