TSM-MM not loud enough ...

Don't lock yourself into one brand based on sentiment; probably the worst reason to keep any component(s).

There are plenty of other choices that will fill your requirements. Undoubtedly better as well.

12inchwaffler,
I don't think you read my post carefully. Plenty of other choices refers to speakers capable of providing the necessary volume desired by the poster. It could be Merlin but it might not be as well. You don't think there are other brands equal to or better?

Don't be so trigger happy.

To all concerned:
I have no personal issue with the gentleman as he states. He probably is a nice guy.

However, his unprofessional and unethical conduct here i.e. using these threads as his personal sales playground is the issue.

Thank you.

You say defending when in reality it is selling. Anyway, there is plenty of daily criticism/ discussion in these threads regarding competitive brands such as Tyler, Green Mountain, Coincident, Von Schweikert, Totem, and on and on.

Very very very seldom do any of their principles step in and sell, oops I meant “defend” the products. Why is that? They are probably secure in the quality/reputation of their product. Lack of interest? I doubt it; they pay attention. Perhaps professionalism has something to do with it. I don’t know.
