| Is there a huge diff, between 2CE Sig II & 3A Sig? I do agree that the 3s are clearer with greater dynamics, but I also think that with the use of the Velodyne, the differences are much less than a straight up comparison. If money we not an issue, I would certainly choose the 3s over the 2s, but w... | |
| Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE? I am wondering why my CDSA SE does not seem the least bit flat or 2-dimensional. How many owners think that? My more recent digital gear was the two-box Accustic Arts, Audio Logic DAC, and ARC CD3 - all pretty good and the EMM Labs seems no "flatt... | |
| Is there a huge diff, between 2CE Sig II & 3A Sig? With the Velodyne, I would expect the difference to be smaller than if you were simply moving from 2 to 3 without a subwoofer. Depending on the model you have, I think the 2s and 3s may have the very same tweeters and midrange and I would expect v... | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? I forgot about the Joule VAMP, just don't see it that often. Granyring? Anthony? is the VAMP switchable between Class A and Class A/B - the spec sheet seems to suggest so, though it may be a factory setting - it would be nifty to switch from 20 wa... | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? Well, if you don't want to go with the Ars, I think the Manley Stingray would be worth considering, though it has recently gone through a very steep price increase, and those that bought it at the old price are trying to sell based on the higher p... | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? Bobby has been at shows with the Ars Sonum, Bobby is no fool, other than the OTL route, I prefer, the Ars is one heck a good amp, especially matched with the Merlins. And, though only 30 watts, drives the VSMs about as loud as could take it, not s... | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe I feel that way, given that I'm driving them with RM10 35watts EL84s, and 60 watts Class A, triode, Atma OTLs and never feel underpowered, but was wondering if I was missing "something" - glad to know I'm not, seems just as powerful as when I used... | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe Bobby, is there any advantage to going much beyond 60watts with the VSMs? How much power is really needed to get the most out of them. They always seemed to sound exceptional with the VSNs at 100 watts? Any reason to go beyond that? | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe I was a bit suprised myself when I went from Vandersteen 3A Signatures with two 2wq subwoofers to the VSMs and first listened to the VSMs expecting a drop off in bass satisfaction - I simply could not believe what I was hearing from these "small" ... | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe We've been waiting for a subwoofer for the VSM sans BAM - not sure it would be better overall, but one would expect deeper, more dynamic bass, but perhaps at a cost sonically in other ways. | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe Mapman, I think that is a pretty good take overall. I will say that within its limitations, though suprisingly minor given its "small" size, the Merlins do what they do so well, that I don't ever really think about what they don't do that a larger... | |
| Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE? Unfortuantely, listening to live music always makes me feel that way regardless of what gear I've owned or heard, knowing that I decided the CDSA was as good as I needed - you got to get off the merry-go-round some time. | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe Juancgenao, you have very unique hearing if the Merlin sounds like a table top radio to you, with ANY cables (well, most any, I'm sure you could find something to screw up the sound of any amp/speaker). Do like the ProAcs though, owned two version... | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe I agree that they are monitors (on a integreated, built in stand), with bass performance that transcends the class because of the BAM, while maintaining coherency not really possible with large multi-driver speakers (though some may claim to have ... | |
| Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE? Sabai, are you suggesting that you found a different way of making a CDSA like the XDS1, different than the approach EMM Labs took? If you have managed to do that, I would say that is quite can accomplishment.What are the various tweaks you have d... |
