Merlin TSM-MXs...First Impressions
just remember that all of my speakers have a higher q and are damped to rid the speakers of distortion and resonance in all aspects or their design. they are very uniform and have a spot on tonal balance if used the way they were designed to be us... 
MERLIN.....Thank You.
hi fatparrot,thanks for asking. my mother in law is home but dad just got out of the icu a few days ago and is a little better but still has a long way to go.happy new year.b 
MERLIN.....Thank You.
my canadian friend explained the questions away with great accuracy. thanks dave.chris you are a very kind man to say what you did and thank you.still in vegas at the show and am excited to see how the speakers improve for you with time.us blues, ... 
merlin used or new
the gen 3 cannot be upgraded to a vsm mm because the cabinet construction, enclosure material, port alignment, internal damping products and adhesives are all different. there is a substantial difference in the potential sound of the mm and gen 3 ...

Review: Merlin Music Systems vsm-mx Speaker
the presentation would be smooth, clear and sligthly lean imho. to be honest, the mm might still sound better with this product mix because it is slighlty less centered in the mids and is slightly fuller in the deep bass. this would tend to counte...

i just responded to a personal e-mail that sounded a lot like this one. are you vt?if not, i will respond here.thanks,b@m 
Merlin/Digital Amplification ?
the amps in general sound very even and smooth but lifeless imho. they work very well with fuller sounding systems and this has been documented time and again.fanatstic for many speakers but the critically damped merlin needs more of a neutral ton... 
Merlin Z-feet
i am not going to say anything more than it is incredibly important to level the speakers. if the feet are not internally adjustable and you are simply unscrewing the foot, you have increased the shearing potential by having it rest on the threads... 
Merlin Z-feet

Merlin Owners - Opinions?
david's post is a very good one because it is totally indicative of how resolving the speakers are and the effects of the ancillaries tonal balance on the sound of the system. i have said for many years that the speakers have a full extended sound... 
Merlin owners,any thoughts.......
virtually the same. it is a dual differential version of the se model. the difference in sound would only take into the consideration the fact that some amps are optimized to run balanced and some single ended.and all of my favorite amps are se.b

hi howard,the vsm ms are great but if someone contacts you with the opportunity to hear the mm or mxs, that would be better yet.regards,b
