Who stay with Merlin longest time


Hi all,
Just wonder, Merlin ex- and current owners - Who set the record of oldest marriage with Merlin? :)
My second anniversary in Sept, yet I already sent them in for a face lift (master BAM/RC) :-)
My system's evolving around Merlins - costly but fun
Happy listening

imho, what works well/sounds right in a more normal living environment (up to 4000 cubic feet) is very different than what works well in much large rooms at greater listening distances. merlin speaker systems are designed to be very qualitative and dynamic for smaller/more normal sized rooms. they are also very linear with great axial dispersion. not for everyone but that is why we have a substantial following and people tend to stick with them. what also helps is the upgrade potential rather than being forced to buy new with each model change.
again not for everyone but for those that want to follow developments more closely, they have the opportunity at a reduced cost.
regards,

rob, very true. there are a lot of competent woofer disigns out there and i have changed my focus from the sub to the completion of the master vsm and tsm.
who knows what the future will bring.

thuan, we have just started rewiring our earlier speakers and bams with cardas clear geometry cable. this is the very same wire i use in the master version of my products.
check the main page of www.merlinmusic.com for information. the internal wiring, the jumpers and rc's would all changed.

mickey, no it was not, sorry. we just got a hold of it and one of the very first master bams with it used internally was at the rmaf. currently less than a half dozen in existance. link to a comment by one of the owners near the top of the main page of my site.
it is a taped cardas clear geometry cable designed for high impedance circuits like the mbam.
imho, inexpensive and fabulous.
