rebbi, a very fine product with 1st order networks.guppy, it is the alignment tool.best, b

m, the impedance has been corrected so it is constant and a little high making them particularly tube friendly but they are still wonderful with ss. there is a review link to andio morotti the founder of fedelta del suono in italy on the main page...

g, the tsm directions?yes of course, this speaker is designed with its power response and it needs to be listened to the way it was designed. it also wants to be listened to on its musical center and not on tweeter axis. use of the jumpers and not...

m, the two speakers are essentially the same but the crossover components are picked to a different tolerance, the woofers have a different amount of latex coating on them, the torque settings on the fasteners are set differently and the undercaot...

mapman because you are using ss with the ohms then the tsm i would recommend and the most reasonable is the mmi version. this is the one that rebbi is using and he uses a class d amp i believe. hoever both versions would perform very well with ss....

m, room volume/size, wires and electronics?then i will recommend one.one is better suited to all out tube systems and the other to ss and leaner tubes.the mmi to leaner tubes/ss and the mx-r to all out tube systems. both are available with the mas...

mapman, imo, the amplifier termination issue is something that almost 98% of the amps need so it did not seem incorrect to combine it with the hf filtering poetential.speakers that are very linear with gobs of resolution can reveal things in the w...

Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM MXe Master Speaker
bill, thank you very much for your thoughts. i would just like to say that the master upgrade was so noticeable to you because you made the speaker better able to show it by improviong its resolution and continuos sounding nature.the master upgrad...

paul, the rc network does two things. it is an hf filter at 1.6 mghz for filtering rfi and emi. imo a must in a city environment. and the second is to offer an unterminated amp a 10 ohm load at 100 khz. speakers are open circuits and the 10 ohm lo... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
yes rob, the jumpers and master rc's did not have one second on them. the speakers about 10 hours.i would think that with about 25 to 50 hours things will start to sound more like they will end up being.after 120 hours it will be as far as they ca... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
ken imho, they will sound better than the standard rc right off the get go. in about 25 to 30 hours a lot better again, in 50 about as much better again and at 125 they are fully broken in. this last bit will offer a more mild improvement but it i...
