Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers

For the Veritas review project on PFO, I fed Veritas through a Rowland Criterion linestage. Veritas drove Vienna Die Muzik speakers.

G.

Mattnship. I can give you several layouts with the Veritas for you.

Mine) Speakers: B&W 802D
Preamp: None- exaSound e20 MK III with .082 clock DAC.

One friend) Speakers: Magnepan 20.1
Preamp: ARC Ref 3

Second Friend) Speakers: Sanders Sound model 10
Preamp: Miracle Audio Devinitive linestage but also at times a Lynx Hilo Dac with out the preamp.

Hope this helps.

I am using an Esoteric C-03 preamp and MBL 101E mk2 speakers.

SO now after a month of listening(600+hrs), the VERITAS continue to sound better & better. They never fail to amaze me. The way they control my Apogee ribbon panel is incredible! Transients are so lighting fast to where I find myself jumping out of my seat! My Apogee's never sounded better, by a wide margin. The VERITAS also make it seem like I'm bi-amping. My Mark & Daniel Apollo speakers had the same effect. So much power on tap that is so clear & quiet, very additive!

The other day on background music(directv#855&856) there was a upright xylophone being played that stopped me in my tracks! So real sounding it was scary! Every tone coming out of complete blackness & moving perfectly left to right with every strike of the mallet. Un-frickin-real! I-LOVE-IT! Also New-Age music benefits so much from the quietness of the VERITAS! You have to hear it to understand what I mean. If anyone of you cool audionuts in Nor-Cal, stop by for a listen!

BTW- Merrill is sending me some of his cables(interconnects & speaker) to try out.

Much more later guys!

Ptheo, please post your thoughts on Merrill's interconnects and speaker cable after you get a chance to try them.
