I was looking into replacing Focal 918 with Merlin vsm-super BAM.
I am using a rebuilt H/K Citation 16a. (150wpc)
Any thoughts on how they may match up?
I dont think power is a problem either. I am not too up to speed on why some speakers dont match well with certain amps,etc??
I noticed in your "system" that you have Cardas cables. Do you find them to have a warm character as many desribe?
Sound wise...I am in a pretty good place right now. It is probably not fair to assess everything until I replace one of the tweeters in my Focals. One is more than cracked, so it contributes to a crispy sound on certain notes,guitar,etc.
I am also waiting to try some different tubes in my pre.
Then I will know where I am with the Focals and if I like their sound enough to hold on to them.

I found some Merlins here in Houston but cant seem to get the guy to respond so I can hear them.
Thanks for everyones input.
