Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...?
optimus, the bam module may not be what you think it is. the vsm was designed with a small volume in the woofer chamber to give the best possible mid range, to keep the efficiency up for ultra low powered tube amps, the damping up and the distorti...

Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM MXM Monitor
try replacing the word "hide" with "cover".egidius is from switzerland.ok?bp 
merlin tsm/primaluna?
capt, it depends on your taste in spl's and the music being played. the tsm has a higher than normal nominal impedance and low powered tubes like that because tubes have more power into higher loads. it may be a wash. try it and see.bp 
merlin tsm/primaluna?
will all be wonderful together, guaranteed. :-)use the search engine in this forum to read about the master rc's to improve the sound further.good luck.bp 
Who stay with Merlin longest time
rob, very true. there are a lot of competent woofer disigns out there and i have changed my focus from the sub to the completion of the master vsm and tsm.who knows what the future will bring.:-)bp

imho, what works well/sounds right in a more normal living environment (up to 4000 cubic feet) is very different than what works well in much large rooms at greater listening distances. merlin speaker systems are designed to be very qualitative an...

Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe
if you think about it, you are horn loading your system.no 90 degree surfaces to reflect energy as in a square or rectangular room.and you can propagate a longer bass wavelength down the diagonal that any other dimension in the room with the speak... 
Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe
toudou has vsm mx's.for those who remember, back in san fran for the 98 sterophile show i used it in a 14 by 14 by 12 cube and the sound was fabulous. then for years in vegas in the 20 by 22 foot room at the alexis. i think it was roon 620 or 622.... 
Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe
if you treat the corners/ceilings for slap echos, carpet the floor, drape or damp the wall behind them and damp primary and immediate reflections on the sides the sound will be killer.and a square can be turned into something other by firing the s... 
Merlin TSM comparisons
p, i just mailed you directly so keep and eye out.you should get the speakers first and listen to them for a while then we can talk and see what you are hearing. it is best to know the speaker a little imho. se 9 cardas is a very good alternative ... 
Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe
m, "A sub can always be added later if needed, but the benefits would likely be marginal as indicated and only with some recordings/music types in a smaller 12X12 room."was that so hard? thank you!b 
Merlin TSM comparisons
p, cables are imho more important than electronics.the room, speakers, cables, sources and the amp.in order of the least amount of $ spent offering the potentially largest improvement in sound.cardas is the best bet for the speakers you own.golden...
