SS amp for Merlin VSMs?
Check out the Sugden A21a or anything in the Sugden line. 
SS for Merlins VSMs?
Pubul57, Just wanted to add that I'm getting very enjoyable sound from my TSMs with a NAD c320BEE budget ss integrated. Now that in its self my disqualify my comments (might just prove that I have a tin ear). But my thoughts are that if I can get ... 
Peachtree Decco 2 setup...
Chubz71,The other posters having given good advice, especially swapping out another amp and seeing if it too sounds bad.I had the first gen. Decco for a three day audition in my system about a month ago. I used a Tara Lab digital cable to use my N... 
Naim UnitiQute - who's heard one?
Kbarkamian, thanks for the reply. Great info, especially the fact that the Uniti seemed as good as the 5 series combo.I need to confirm it but I believe the Uniti also has an active pre which would distinguish it a bit from the Nait 5i which has a... 
Naim UnitiQute - who's heard one?
I hope I'm not hijacking the the thread since the OP asked about the head amp but I haven't seen much (outside the Naim forum) about the Uniti from actual owners here.For the owners out there, would you be satisfied if the Uniti was what you used ... 
YG Acoustics vs. Avantgarde Duo series comparison?
This a great question. I'd also like to know they compare. What are their differences in how they reproduce sound? I have had budget horns for more than twenty years (Klipsch Forte') which I enjoy and I have speakers with dynamic drivers I really ... 
Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system
Lots of great choices and suggestions have been made. I'd probably go for some pre owned Paradigm Studio 100v2 to v4. Outstanding speakers that rock and play everything well.

Wow! That is an outstanding review. I enjoyed it very much. I'm glad you enjoying your TSMs. They really are outstanding. Like you, with the TSMs, I don't think about anything but the music when they are playing.Cheers,Scott

Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
Thanks for your impressions, Ryriken. I look forward to trying the Duelund R/Cs.I've had my TSMs now for more than four months now and I just love them. They get played nearly every day, wether as background music or for solo listening sessions in... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
Ryriken, I have no doubt that you have great sound just as you have them. Enjoy! Please keep us posted when you get the Dueland rcs.9rw, It is clear you have an axe to grind. My system sounds incredible with a well designed $400 50 watt ss amp. Yo... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
Ryriken,You have a great system and a fine room. When my system is playing and I'm in another room it sounds great and when I go in the system room it sounds great too. When I am in the sweet spot I want to be at least nine feet from the front pla... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
Hello Ryriken,Congrats, I'd love to have the TSM-mxe and the Dueland rcs (although I can't imagine my system sounding any better than it already does). What finish do you have? Hang in there, you'll get it. One thing I believe is very important fo... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
9rw, nope never heard the One. Just read the Garcia review from TAS and many blog posts about it. I've spent considerable time with the Forrest and the Model One and The One is basically a modded version of the Model One. The Model one is a fine s... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-mmi Monitor
9rw, Been at this audiophile game for seven years now, been there. The One is a fine speaker as well as the Forrest. Still, the TSM won my heart.Not about to ditch the NAD. The budget stuff is just stupid good. The fact the Merlins sound so good w...
