Speakers Like Merlin VSM?


I once owned a pair of VSM-M's and regretably sold them. At the time I owned them I spent a good amount on my system and although it wasn't perfect I was never let down by these speakers. Actually they are the best I have heard to date. I once heard my Merlins hooked up to a Berning ZH-270 and it knocked me out.

I'm not real sure I could amass a system like that again but I was wondering..... Who's the new Merlin? I may just have to save up and go for it.

The Merlins with the BAM are just awesome especially if your into vinyl. If any of you live in Texas or nearby there and want to sell your Merlins please send me an e-mail.

"Who is going to decide what is black, white, has substance or lacks it, if not everyone for themselves? OTOH you seem to know just what is what and whoever sees it differently is a baffoon? (To those who have rushed to talk about your graciousness, I can only suggest that a little explanation is called for.)"

Very unfortunate Aktchi, you are continuing the argument without acknowledging the offensive comment. It seems your true intent has been confirmed. I thought you were initially trying to be fair minded but it really seems you are just intent on further provocation for whatever reasons you may have. I suggested you give Bobby a call and you MIGHT come to a different conclusion but no, it seems you want to keep the barrage going calling into question AGAIN, his motivations and graciousness. I'm really disappointed in you!

Thanks Sburton for adding the insight. It offers much value for those that would be interested after all.

Ellery,

Perhaps it would be best to contact Bobby personally.

I received my new TSM MMe`s two days ago and even tho they aren`t broken in yet, I can tell that they are special and I am thrilled with them. For their price, or any price for that matter, they are stupid good. Eva Cassidy is in my listening room singing to me.

Merlin speakers didn`t win the Audio Review award for the most 5 star customer reviews for nothing.
Since hi fi has been my hobby for the past 34 years I have become acquainted with a number of speakers/pre/amps etc...Bobby has been the most help to me of any manufacturer/dealer that I have had the good fortune to deal with...Extemely knowledgable...personable and driven to produce at an excellent product at a fair market price...Am I a happy Merlin owner? That might be an understatement...Thank you Bobby
hi ellery,
to really answer your fair question properly, i need to know more about the direction the whole system would go in, the room and set up possiblities. all these will factor into the outcome.
perhaps you could call the factory and speak to me for 5 or 10 minutes and i would have all the information i need.
be glad to help.
585 367 2390, i'll even be there sunday for 4 or 5 hours later on, est.
regards,
bobby
Hi Ellery, the microZOTL is one of ours and many people have found it's outperforms mega amps in high efficiency speakers, we have several Europeans using the mZ with Avantgardes and it's awfully inexpensive, sadly however, they are lost leaders per say and will be discontinued most likely this year.

To personally find the answer to your questions, we'll be more than happy to give a 30 day money back guarantee on a ZH-270 with a small return and shipping charge, there is of course, a waiting list.
