| merlin used or new Had my late model SE upgraded to VSM-M. Then upgraded that to the VSM-MM. As above, you can't go wrong with Bobby's recommendations.David | |
| A Call To Reason . . . . . Good writing.I have printed off and read all of that Esoteric thread over the last couple of days. It was damn near giving me an anxiety attack thinking that my $2900 Marantz SA-14 was at the bottom of a pile of dung. I then took a deep breath and... | |
| international buyer, I have also done an international sale. Easy as pie to receive money. Bank transfer ("wired money"). Just to obtain a comfort level, however, phone your bank and get the specifics with respect to the risk involved, etc. | |

| Listening to my HD650's, a sobering experience... Unclejeff:"...except when no volumn setting whatsoever is low enough for the wife.":)That exact situation happens many times in our house. This was one of the main reasons why I bought a headphone setup. | |

| Merlin owners,any thoughts....... Oh, Jesus Murphy, don't mention his moniker. We do NOT want that virus here. | |
| Merlin Owners - Opinions? I have not heard the TSM's, just an owner of the VSM-SE, VSM-M, and soon the VSM-MM. Djjd has expressed very well my experience. Case in point: I had a Sonic Frontier Line 2 SE preamp and found that with the Merlins, the sound was, I suppose, "lea... | |
| Merlin speaker /Amplifier combinations? Do a search on Audio Asylum. Tons of specific information there.I currently use either the Joule Electra VAMP Integrated (valve pre, MOS-FET amp) or the Belles 150A Hot Rod amp with a Joule Electra LA 100 MKIII pre with great success.Have fun! | |
| Merlin VSM-M and Bass Just looking at my old thread and thought that I should make a posting of what has occured over the year.I still have the same speakers. They are just too damn good to let go. I did have an "affair" for a short while with the likes of Gershman Ava... | |
| How Loud Do You Listen??? Do You Know????????? Very good question. What level of loudness you listen to can greatly alter speaker preference. I usually like to listen at about 70-80 dB. | |
