| merlin tsm`s on target stands? i too have r4 target and osiris stands and well, they are both great but i prefer the sound on the osiris a wee bit. go figure. either one will surely make you very happy.sit in your listening chair and measure the the distance from the floor to t... | |
| Merlin VSM-MM v. VSM-MX hi coffee,the ss and tube wiring harnesses went with the millennium models. the crossfield litz harness used now sounds much better on tubes or ss than either of the versions available in the millennium.jim is correct, both versions of the vsm are... | |
| Merlin question i want to talk to you about how far they are apart, how far you are listening to them and what the wire make up is?if the tweeter gauge is the same as the woofer and they are larger than 15 gauge them you are causing them to sound light weight. yo... | |
| Merlin question i responded personally to this question.please answer the question about the aq wire because if you are doing what i think you are doing, you have the speakers sounding too bright and forward. the tonal balance would be also set to the lean side. ... | |
| Merlin TSM-mm placement strongly recommend using the alignment tool and spencer mentioned the diagonal set up. it will work like a dream.give me a call at the plant during business hours. we are on the east coast.bobby | |
| merlin tsm/primaluna? the reason i have not commented on the primaluna is because i have not heard one. can't talk about what you haven't heard now, can you? but if this unit uses el34s, odds are it will be fine if the tubes are used correctly. the cable and source iss... | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? stereo,when the tweeter plays to loudly it sounds nasal and smooth and is too full in the lower treble. the spectral balance will shift up towards the tweeter and this is going to alter the tonal balance. i still suggest that you give me a call be... | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? when you have a cjance get that bam back to me so it can be fixed my friend...i am really sorry for the problems!!!bobby | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? stereo,i'll just bet that if you get the merlin/cardas jumpers for that speaker, you will have way better sound and a richer tonal balance. i will explain better when you call but if the jumpers you made use bigger than 15 gauge wire, the dc resis... | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? this amp has a very high damping factor that may be over kill for the speaker which has considerable damping of its own. this is why i asked. what cables are you using and source electronics? are the cables shotgun? are you using my jumpers?it is ... | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? the speakers will give plenty of bass if you use them the way they were designed to be used. they are also very indicative of the gear that precedes them so if the amp sounds less full then that is the way they will sound. the same can be said for... | |
| What to use for Merlin TSM stand mounting hi james,are the stands metal and filled with sand?do they have leveling points that go to the floor?there should be nothing on the top plynth of the stand, no rubber etc., to decouple the speaker from it. just use a tiny 1/8 inch (or smaller) bal... | |
| Tube, hybrid or solid state for Merlin TSM-MMs? you should give me a call at the merlin plant, kilsho.585 367 2390i will try and help you because there are a number of things mentioned that will not be right for the job but i will not mention them here.regards,bobby at merlin | |
| B&W Sig. 805 and Merlin TSM hi catsmeaow,you have mentioned a number of very astute things about the tsm's sound and i thank you.but it is not the expense of the amp that would cause it to interface better with the tsm but the damping potential and the tonal balance. the tru... | |
| GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM hi minbean,we have a number of individuals that own the merlin tsms in vancouver so why not request a listening session on this forum and audioasylum.just an idea.regards,bobby at merlin |
