| Review: Merlin Music Systems Master VSM Speaker eg, rug on the floor, drapes behind speakers, and a small non reflective panel at the primary and immediate refection points relative to the seationg position and you are 95% there.the rest of the room is live. do not over damp the room with merli... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems Master VSM Speaker matter of inches? that is when the room is not controlled for reflections. when it is right, i do not find it this way. when i do a show i go in the bare room with rich, triangulate the position and set it up.we never move them once set up and loo... | |

| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? agreed paul, the room is most important especially to get it tuned to the way your speaker radiates energy. you must get it to the point where there is minimal reflected energy at the seating position, at least for my products. at shows you have s... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? imho, the room/treatments, the speakers, the cables and connections, sources, line level and amplification with good clean ac is my order of preference/importance. they are placed in the order of the biggest possible change in sound for the least ... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? paul, i would agree and would love to hear what you think of the ss amps with autoformers. mc that is.i liked them.b | |
