| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. 9rw, you sound like someone with an axe to grind. You owned Merlin speakers a LONG time ago it seems and the product has been reviewed quite recently with strong observations that the evolution has been more than subtle.Bobby and others have repor... | |
| Emotiva vs. some bigger boys Plato, the unit you mention is only 125 WPC, while the Emotiva unit for 20% less offers 300 WPC.Quite a difference, especially if you've got some tough to drive speakers or a big room. A more reasonable comparison would be the ST-250 against the E... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. i actually have a great many personal favorites in the way of ancillaries to use with my speakers.best, b>>>Bobby, the above statement is a good one. But then, as many Merlin owners (and future owners) would like to know...what other cabl... | |
| Emotiva vs. some bigger boys I've heard the Wyred gear and it's quite good, but I feel there are a lot of good amps at that kind of price point. The Emotiva gear comes in at 1/3 the price, which is more than "bang for the buck." It's practically unheard of in the industry. Wh... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State-Basic Question Thanks for all the feedback, folks!Rob | |
| Emotiva vs. some bigger boys Bobby is making me a set of Merlin TSM-MXs's, which is the latest version, in ruby red. The wait is something like 15 weeks and I still have something like 12 to go!I bought the Stingray II based on Bobby's comments along with his buddy, Rich at S... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. It's funny to see how kooky people get about this stuff. With over 30 years of the dreaded and often incurable Audioselpalitis, I've learned to take every opinion with a grain of salt.However, I have a pair of TSM-XMr's on order and Bobby has been... | |
| How good is Emotiva 2 channel gear?? Mid range can be lifeless on a LOT of good amps when mated to the wrong pre-amp. And most processors are simply weak for musicality. Connected to a Rogue pre-amp the Emotiva does just fine for music. In fact I'm currently about to break in the Emo... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State-Basic Question Well....I bought the Stingray II because Bobby suggested it as a great pick for my soon to arrive Merlin TSM-MXr's. Of course quite a few chimed in to say the Stingray/Merlin pairing was made in heaven, but I just did not expect the Stingray to so... | |
| How good is Emotiva 2 channel gear?? People who spend a lot of money on amps prefer to avoid these threads. I've had a lot of SS amps, from Carver to Rotel and recently Odyssey and currently a Manley Stingray II.The TRUTH is that it all sounded good without exception. The Stingray so... | |
| Manley Stingray II...a quick review.... Yup....plus I didn't want the added wiring and complexity cluttering and possibly effecting the purity of the Stingray. They might as well have added a slot for 8 Track!If I decide to use an Ipod, I'd do with a Wadia unit at the very least.I think... | |
| Manley Stingray II...a quick review.... I've got about 35 more hours on it now. Grain is slowing going away and the overall sound is warming up more. I was told about 200 hours to break the amp in, but I was pretty happy with the sound to start. Of course I don't have the very revealing... | |
| Bought the MJ Acoustics 150 MKII Sub For now I'm just using the RCA. I'm waiting for my Merlin TSM-XMr speakers to be delivered before I really start experimenting with the sub. I'm very impressed and now "get it" as to why people seek out a sub like this for music over some of the w... | |
| The CD Player Lie? Thanks for all of the comments. I've owned a LOT of gear over the years and often found that the high end doesn't always provide the best quality sound, especially with electronics and cables.For the record I've never owned a boring system. Music ... | |
| The CD Player Lie? Dave, none of the players sounded the same. My point is that the lowest priced of the lot really came quite close to what the "better" and far more expensive player was doing. The Jolida cost 7 times more than the Sony and I think the Sony was wor... |
