Hi Trelja,The room was 13 by 18 feet.Just wondering, did you ever have a seat and listen to a few piecces of music or were you standing near the back wall or in the passage way? The bass was loading in these areas.There were only two pieces of mus... 
Merlin Room at 2004 HE Show in NY
I would like to thank you all for your comments and for the support. Rich and I had a great time talking to people and playing all kinds of music. More so than at any other show we were able to play anything that was thrown at the speakers with a ... 
Verity Fidelio, Alon Lotus Elite & Merlin VSM-M?
Hi Dennis,The speakers differ in the quantity and quality of very sophisticated components in their dividing networks and BAM.Both of these models offer a significant sonic upgrade over the Millennium. The MX offers perhaps an additional 10% impro... 
Verity Fidelio, Alon Lotus Elite & Merlin VSM-M?
One thing that I forgot to mention is that the VSM M is no longer in production. DPE, wouldn't you be more interested in what the VSM MM and MX have to offer against the competition??Bobby@merlin 
Verity Fidelio, Alon Lotus Elite & Merlin VSM-M?
Yes, and what version of the VSM you have would be helpful along with the ancillary gear???Bobby@merlin 
Are my speakers supposed to do this?
Check the line voltage because if it is too low, the power supply may be in the pre may be oscillating. It could also be DC leakage.Bobby@merlin 
Anyone using subs with Merlin VSM-ME's
Hi Swampwalker,No I have no specific experience to report on with that woofer system...sorry.Still though, be sure that if you are using the tuning pucks on the BAM and other parts of the system, ERS on the BAM and your digital, have the sixth toe... 
Anyone using subs with Merlin VSM-ME's
You will want to use the BAB as the high pass filter even with the subs. Use a sub that crosses over at 30 Hz at 12 or 24 dB per octave with phase inversion at the 24 dB slope.Rels work well and small fast drivers are a better bet to keep up with ...

The Magic Mod goes into studio black VSM Ms and the VSM MX is the new top of the line in the clear-cote finish. Many parts in the BAM, speakers and RCs have been changed with a more sohistcated version but there are obvious and significant improve...

Hi Manuel,It is as I thought, I do know Christophe Debon and he did have the VSM SE which did have the lighter tonal balance than the VSM M. So, we are all right. You did indeed hear a lighter sound than what the VSM M and some of the mods can gen... 
ProAc or Merlin
Hi Manuel,I find your comments very interesting because the Merlin VSM M is very musical and does not sound analytical unless provoked into doing so. By the sounds of the system, I think I know who owned them and they were VSM SEs which did sound ... 
ProAc or Merlin
If you are concerned about sheer volume level Vox, get the VSM MX because any issue of dynamic compression or tonal shifts at high levels are gone (and that's not to say that there ever was a problem to begin with). Mr. Fremmer's point was that he... 
Any body hear the new improved Merlins at CES?
The presentation of the CAT and Joule are very different and because of the the DAC 3 sounded better in the system at the CES. In the past, I have always used the Capitole with the Joules and thought it hard to better. The DAC 3 may actually sound... 
Any body hear the new improved Merlins at CES?
Well, I guess it was our room but it certainly was not rude or extreme in any sense of the word. I had very friendly relations with other exhibitors around us and no one outside of the room or in the room made mention of this to anyone in our grou... 
Any body hear the new improved Merlins at CES?
Hi Guys,The modded DAC 3 sounded very very good, relaxed and extremely convincing. I am looking for one myself, or at least Kenny is looking for me. I was extremely pleased with the sound at the show. The CAT electronics has a live sound that caug...
