Stupidgood: Ars Sonum
Santacore, my impression of this combo is, simply outstanding! I have (or should I say had) the TSM-MXe and Filarmonia combo. The reason I say 'had' is I have just sold my TSMs this past week and placed an order for the VSM-MXes. I really wish I w...

Tube Amp Recommendations
Bhoage,I have the TSM-MXs and I am currently demoing a ARS Sonum Filarmonia. I ordered one today. Very tonally balanced sound. I love it. I hope you will to. BTW, also ordered the new AA Prima to go with it (unheard).Ed 
Ars Sonum / Merlin TSM-MX???
Toudou,I'm demoing this exact combo (I actually own the Merlin TSM-MXs). I just placed an order for the ARS Sonum Filarmonia today. Fit and finish is just superb. A beautiful looking and sounding amp. A side note, I just ordered a Audio Aero Prima... 
good amp for b&w N802
Glenalan,Thanks for the input. Just ordered the new Integrated Concerto and was wondering what you thought the match would be like with B&W 9NTs and a Krell CD player (KAV 280)? Any thought's would be appreciated. Thanks.Ed
