| Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-MXr Monitor Hi, DanielI did a lot of listening over a few months. (and perhaps even more in the last few weeks!) I don't like to make claims that a speaker is "better" than another. It offends people in some cases. Plus there is always the issue of rooms, ass... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I have experimented with my new TSM's position quite a bit over the last few days. At about 7 feet apart and 10 feet from listening position I get as near a perfect image and stage as I've heard from any system. But placing the speakers further ap... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-MXr Monitor Tzh21y,I have a room that is 28x18 and it's a theater room. We are building a music room soon. The TSM's do an amazing job and continue to improve.I have a Rega Saturn coming for a visit this Tuesday as I continue to see out players. What CD playe... | |
| Manley Stingray II Integrated Amp-Owner's Review You guys are killin' me!Rob | |
| Manley Stingray II Integrated Amp-Owner's Review You're right about the cover....I just want it for when the unit is off. I may actually build one myself.Rob | |
| Best Subwoofer you've ever heard??? Your PB13 Ultra is one of the best for theater and not too shabby for music either. A small faster sub, such as my MJ Acoustics 150 MK II is better still for music. One sub that is almost as good as BOTH is the JL113, but I still like two subs bet... | |
| Merlin TSM-MX-r Owner Review I wonder how many non-audiophiles would shell out for any stereo system costing over 1500 complete? Most people are shocked if they ask me what systems like these cost.I had a few friends over last night and we were listening to Beatles Anthology ... | |
| Merlin TSM-MX-r Owner Review Thanks, Newton...I'm really having a great time with them. It's been quite a few auditions and systems since I was this excited over a set of speakers.Rob | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I had another long session with the new TSM-XMr's this evening. I swapped out the Skylan stand pegs for spikes and experimented with placement. After about 40 minutes I had a none-too subtle improvement in the mid bass and the speakers tightened u... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Mapman,I think there was a chain of stores, at least here in NY, called Tech Hi Fi that used to sell Ohm speakers. I was a teenager at the time, but I remember visiting a Tech Hi-Fi in Queens, NY and listening to Ohm speakers....and trying to conv... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons One of the things I like about Ohm (along with a recently auditioned pair of Duevel Planets, is they are great for playing music when I'm having a party! Few speakers fill rooms with good sound the way Ohm speakers do. Mirage has also tackled that... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I partly agree regarding associated gear. I have a pair of SVS speakers which cost about 100 bucks each. They sound fair at best. I connected them to the new Manley II amp and put them on the Skylan stands. Augmented by my MJ Acoustics sub they so... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Yes, I did hear them, but really can't say that I had a fair chance to really evaluate them. My friend bought and sold them at a good profit. He did not think they were worth anything near what they cost. In fact he preferred his little Totems, wh... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I would LOVE to put the TSM's up against the Magico Minis!Rob | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Mapman,I can honestly say that I owned a lot of speakers that sounded "boxless", but the Merlin' vanishing act is even more absolute.Most speakers have some level of beaming, however subtle, that shatters the illusion. Again, I'd like to point out... |
