| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you I'd have to save up another $10k and go for the Silverline Grand Bolero. | |

| 5751 tubes in Rogue Tempest? I use RCA 5751's and 12AU7's in my M180's, and RCA 5692's in my 99 Magnum preamp. I think the system sounds great. Strong bass, rich mid-range, silky highs with lots of detail but without sounding sibilant. I have Mundorf S/G/O capacitors in my Si... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I owned the Merlin TSM-SE speaker but after a side-by-side comparison preferred the Silverline Audio SR17.5. But we are talking about speakers that were at two different price points when they were being made. At the Merlin price point, I know of ... | |

| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Sstalwar: One more thing: Upon reading your original post again, I realized that you were not clear if you were interested in Merlin TSM or VSM speakers. I had assumed that you were interested in the TSM speaker since you were considering the smal... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Sstalwar,I wanted to add that the reason I suggested Silverline is that in an earlier post someone had suggested Dynaudio speakers to you, and Silverline makes excellent use of Dynaudio drivers. | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Sstalwar,I've owned Merlin TSM speakers and loved them for jazz but not so much for orchestral music. I switched to Silverline SR17.5's and am very pleased with how they handle both genres. The more current Silverline model is the Silverline SR17 ... | |
