| Joule Electra VZN100 with Merlin VSM-MX. Fully tweaked Zh270 that was in my rig. Cryo Briamar drivers, cryo outputs, ERS kit, new cryo foil caps and all wire upgrades.I did not intend to make it appear that the ZH270 is a slouch. It is not in any respect. Just very, very, different sound... | |
| Quick Poll: For Berning / Merlin Owners Before and after wire/cap/ERS mods was recoding dependent (vinyl or CD/SACD) but either low setting@12 or Medium setting@2. | |
| Joule Electra VZN100 with Merlin VSM-MX. Hi Bobby,Afer hearing your show set up with VZN 100, and driving my VSM M with a Berning ZH270, (thanks Tubegroover!) I've been enjoying immensley my new VZN 100 Music woods. I totally agree with JSL comments. The "harmonic envelope" is as complet... | |

| VPI Scout or Scoutmaster? After having a Scout for alomost a couple of years sold it earlier in January. Heard Scoutmaster at CES in the Joule/Elrod room and purchased one from Music Direct at the show. Built like a tank. Bang for the buck table. You can add outer clamp an... | |
| Merlin VSM Mil. Bass Brooks1,I use Acme cryo outlets on 2 20 amp dedicated circuits in my listening room. Break in was lenghty. (30 days I recall) Once brken in, hard to beleive that an outlet could make that kind of difference.Hang in there. They'll go up and down wi... | |
| Build a system around speakers in the $5-$7.5K Bogkidz,I agree with Spencer. Merlin VSM M are speakers to build a system around. I have and am extremely happy.I was a tad bit hesitant to call Merlin when I became interested. Don't be, Bobby is most generous with his time even if you don't end ... | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series Bobby brings up some intresting points in his reply. As a former musician (drummer) as well as an audiophile, I've looked to build a system with components that do more "right" than "wrong" in my search for the absolute sound. It is this fine line... | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series Jtinn,"Different strokes for different folks I guess"! The Kharma 3.2 are fine speaker. I thought my message stated that. Trouble reading?? Emotional connection??? It's the VSM M for my money. Sorry if you don't agree with my opinion, but it is st... | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series Kmmorgan,The VSM M with the BAM is quite simply a speaker to build a system around. With the correct selection of upstream components, wire and power conditioning, will bring years of listening pleasure.The Kharma's are fine speakers but do not co... | |
| Couple of questions on the Merlin VSM speakers... Budrew,I am in a dedicated room 20 X 14 treated with MG Tunepack and 4 Argent Room lenses. My VSM M speaker fronts 72" inches from rear wall and about 5'6" apart (Rule of thirds). They throw an incrediblely deep, wide SS filled with holographic im... | |
