| Have you heard the latest Merlin VSM-MXe speakers? paul,he is getting some new audio reasearch gear as far as i know, i can't wait to hear what he thinks of it. had a chat with him about the fila but he had already gone in a different direction.best, b | |
| Have you heard the latest Merlin VSM-MXe speakers? howard,a great speaker can play any kind of music, period. doesn't matter if it is classical, jazz, bluegrass, rock, electronic or heavy metal. the most natural will make any of the music types sound more natural too. now if you want a speaker to ... | |
| Have you heard the latest Merlin VSM-MXe speakers? m, does the pre have a processing loop?you want to hook the bam up so that it is buffered by the tube line output stage of the pre amp and then it will sound as it can. between the pre and power is after the tube line output stage so the bam is no... | |
| Have you heard the latest Merlin VSM-MXe speakers? arkio,if you want to fill a large room and play all sorts of electronic music then consider getting a sub or two with the mxe. why give up the magic that the speaker has to offer for a few % of the music when you can augment this. and they can put... | |
| ARS SONUM FILARMONIA - QUESTION paul,yes it is auto biasing but the e34ls need to be matched to 2% as a quad set to begin with. best,b | |
| Merlin Upgrade Experience oops, yes, imho low q or higher damped speakers like to be coupled as a rule and higher q or lower damped speakers like to be decoupled as a rule. the vsms are low q.best, b | |
| Merlin Upgrade Experience bryan,imho, a low q speaker needs to be coupled to the floor to rid the enclosure of stored energy. the better you couple it, the more energy is passed to the floor. the z foot assembly also has a very low resonant freq. in the single digits. the ... | |
| Merlin Upgrade Experience bryan,what have you given up in the sound department, if anything? i have tried pennies and the little brass cups under the points and always thought it sounded more even with just the z feet into the floor.your method would seem like it would cau... | |
| Merlin VSM and SETs? a clue, wattage is less important than the actual sound/tonal balance and bandwidth of the amp in question.at 22 watts in pure class a, the fila flys!so it is not that.and georges amps are class a, another clue?:-)best,b | |
| Subwoofers and Merlins maria,forgive me for asking but do you know first hand that you will need a sub with the vsm mxes or are you assuming you will?the vsm mxe sounds much more room filling and tonally fleshed out than the mx and earlier models.best,b | |
| Stupidgood: Ars Sonum paul,i caution you in one respect. although the capacitors are burned in for hundreds of hours before they get mounted on the boards, they have not played any music. secondly, there are so many new parts, power cord and tubes that making any effor... | |
| Merlin Upgrade Experience paul,while it is true that the mxe is way more room filling than earlier versions, some who have very large spaces to fill would still not be happy. it is more of a tonality issue than the extention. i would run a sub second order at 30 to 35 hz i... | |
| Merlin Upgrade Experience paul,originally my goal was bandwidth, so i made bigger multidriver systems with a larger wave lauch. these were better suited to larger rooms. now i strive to make the speakers be as coherent as possible, like a one way in effect. with vastly sup... | |
| Good match for Merlin? lyp,you need to call ayre to see if the amp is terminated with a zobel. if not use the rc, if yes then do not.okay?best,bobby | |
| Good match for Merlin? the rc has a yellow cap...yes.call ayre and ask them if the amp you have is terminated with a zobel, if yes, do not use the rc. if no, then use it.b |
