| merlin tsm/primaluna? There`s an e34l out that`s under the brand name of groove tubes. If my memory serves me correctly, they are also made in Slovakia. They offer a gold or silver series and are more expensive. Whether or not they are made in the same plant (telsa), I... | |
| merlin tsm/primaluna? Actually, Bobby likes the e34l over the el34 and uses them in the Fila. Thay have 20% more head room. As soon as I get my SLI-80, I`m ordering a quad. | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Pubul57, You said it succinctly and best when you stated..."I simply don`t think about other speakers anymore-and those that own them understand why".yup. | |
| merlin tsm/primaluna? Thanks Bobby, I`ll post my impressions. | |
| merlin tsm/primaluna? Another thing. some say that the triode mode in the sli80 needs 89db sensitivity speakers or higher to perform at its best. The tsm`s @87db are slightly less efficient. How do you think this will sound in a 14x17 room?thanks again. | |
| merlin tsm/primaluna? Hi bobby. I have the mme`s. I just purchased a sli-80 listed here on a`gon earlier today. Yes, kt88`s wil be replaced by el34`s. I`m hoping that it mates well with my audio aero prima mk11 cdp as well. Any thoughts on that?Dick | |
| merlin tsm/primaluna? Marty, Thank you for your insightful reply. I`ve enjoyed the past 5 yrs. with my tsm`s matched with an aa prima mk1 hyb. int. amp/aa prima mk11 cdp combo. I`m now in full tube mode and have narrowed my choices down to the pl dialogue 2 and the car... | |

| Who stay with Merlin longest time And here I thought I was a tough as nails retired old sea capt. only to have jumbo set me straight. Started the journey 20 yrs. ago w/3 way merlin sig. 4`s. I've had the immense pleasure of listening to music through the tsm/mme`s for the past few... | |
| Most Effective Tweaks Ghosthouse..sorry for not being clearer in what I said. Monitor speakers are on spiked Osiris stands coupled to the floor, I left them that way. I have two amp stands, one for cdp and the other for int. amp. Whole racquetballs are inserted into pv... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM MMe Speaker Great review, Jb. I too am still thrilled with my tsm mme`s after several months. You`re right about the "spooky" part. These things offer a natural and life like presentation for sure. | |
| Most Effective Tweaks 1. Replacing the brass cones under my maple isolation stands with racquetballs inserted in inch and a half PVC end caps. Made a big difference on my carpet covered concrete.2. Anything and everything from Herbies Audio lab. | |
| how do you know a bad tube? Blindjim. I think others have addressed your tube dilema very well. I`m curious, after reading your "what would your next upgrade be" thread on your system page, what your impression of Herbies tweaks is and how you`re doing with the room tuning.I... | |
