SS amp for Merlin VSMs?
Pubul, if you opt to audition/purchase the Mcintosh, I would love to hear your feedback on the combo. 
Grilles or No Grilles
Yea, I have always been under the assumption that grilles are for protection and aesthetic reasons.Although, before I ever got into this crazy hobby, I NEVER removed the grilles. lol

SS amps for merlin vsm
I'm pretty sure the 6500 doesnt have the autoformers but the 6900 does. I want to hear the combo very badly. 
Tube Integrated with Headphone
I'll add another mention of Cary. Got the Cary SLI-80 Sig F1 and the headphone unit is fantastic.

Has anyone heard the Merlins paired with SS Mcintosh gear? Specifically a MA6500 or MA6900?I am thinking it would be a good match.
