| need help with Merlin vsm mme for home theater t, you do know there is a tsm and vsm center channel do you not? imho the speakers have a sound that is on the organic side and you must be careful to use a center that is similar in sound or you will not use it especially if it sticks out like a ... | |
| need help with Merlin vsm mme for home theater hi everyone, the rc is an hf filter at 1.6 mhz. it also offers the amp a termination of 10 ohms at 100 khz so the amp settles down and sounds as it should. a must in cities where there is an abundance of fri and emi.the bam has a 5.2 db boost cent... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? hi gentlemen,the vsm is slightly rolled in the hf so it will not stick out there. they also sound more continuous from top to bottom than what you have presently. focal's bbc style response (mid range dip) can make the bass sound lumpy and the hf ... | |

| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? tab, the master bam with the new power supply and reduced feedback still sounds better on battery but the difference is closer than ever before. many more use it on ac full time.pub, yes u can but why would u? the battery opps still sounds best on... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. c, 6 moons never reviewed the speakers and only heard them at shows. since se's tend to be lower powered they were concerned about the boost freq and the demands on the amp at the boost plateau. even wavelength posed the same concern. se amps tend... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? s, i will say that personal tastes are a big factor in all of this. when you say the mids are warm describe this please? embodied, forward as opposed to drawn back and leaner?this is going to be music dependant. what is your preference?btw, i do n... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. c, without the bam you are listening to more im distortion and dynamic compression. what you hear is probably the sound of aluminum foils caps pushing the presence range. and yes with the master mods that will be gone. the sound will be more room ... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? s, i think hot mess is a poor choice of words.i think you want to indicate a specific character don't you?and again this whole thing is relative to the size of the room and its boundary reinforcement modes as to which one you will prefer. wider ba... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. s, in large rooms relaxing the mids will give you a sonic character of wider bandwidth and in smaller rooms the more continuous sounding cable sounds best to my ears because of the additional boundary reinforcements. this whole discussion is relat... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. were they cold forged?if you ever get the master bam and master rc mod which is talked to you about (which you should have done before the wire shootout) the end result may have been different. the masters add gobs of body, clearity and expanse. t... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. your comments pertain to this system only. i hope you realize this. and you and your tastes.how old were the gr's and are they the real mcoy?were the golden ref's cold forged?bobby p | |
| Merlin VSM/MMe with Berning ZH-270 a tube pre would be even better. the tube line output stage will buffer the bam and make it sound more robust, expansive and real.jmtc. | |
| Merlin VSM/MMe with Berning ZH-270 david, a pre with a tape loop is a must for multiple source systems and best sound with the merlin's.check and see how long the charge lasts and let me know.we can also add another input to the bam with a switch. this works well and i inexpensive ... |
