amps for Merlin VSM-MXE
Perhaps Sbank will weigh in on this. That said, I have spent a lot of time in his listening room and have always been impressed with the synergy he had with the Merlins and the Berning. He is now using the Atma-sphere MA1 amps and is really gettin... 
Anyone else tried the Walker Black Diamond
