What to add or change for my system?
Agree with the others. If you feel satisfied at this time, enjoy it. One important thing to attend to if you haven't already is a good rack to put everything on. It does make a difference. I recommend Adona for sonics and adjustability. 
Good preamp with Merlin TSM speakers?
Joule is out of business, but the topology in the 150 is nothing exotic. I had the 100 for a couple of years, and my tech had no problem working on it. It was a nice pre. Smooth and detailed

We don't listen to white papers. In the end, it is about results; in this case, music.

Charles,That's exciting, if I may be so geeky to say so. I really truly had a very noticeable improvement from the Afterburner, and I'm really happy that you are finding it effective as well. The price is really reasonable for the performance impr...

HI Charles,I don't count as a useful opinion in this case, because the only other aftermarket power cord I have used is Pangea, but I now use the Cerious Nano Reference cords (2 years) which are certainly superior. I would like to have the Graphen...

douglas_schroeder,I think that it was you who wrote that rave review I'm thinking of..am I right?

Grannyring is right. When the Monitor 40 got its first rave review years ago, they cost around 7k, now the latest version is over 14k. It wasn't that many years ago, and I should have bought a pair, but the point is that even then, they performed ... 
Too Good to be True?
akispapasavvas,It was over 2 years ago, and what do you mean Mr. Expert? I don't know how to pronounce your screen name, but I do know how to tell you to shut you mouth. In fact, I'm an expert! 
PrimaLuna Premium Dialogue integrated amp with B&W CM9 speakers
I think that the B&W speakers are the troublemaker here. Consider replacing them. 
Legacy Aeris and amplification.
Zephyr24069,Really sad to hear that you had to sell your speakers due to WAF. All joking aside, I think that there are way to many inconsiderate wives and husbands out there who don't respect the interests of their spouses.I clearly recall how exc...
