| Amp suggestion for Merlin TSM speakers Atmosphere.... most of the amps suggested in this thread are a bit out of my league. I'm thinking no more than $2k (new or used). Are any of the "wide range" above included in my price range? Preferably tubes, but still open to SS. Thanks | |
| Amp suggestion for Merlin TSM speakers Rich.....how do I find out which version IO have of the Merlins? | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers I still have a pair at my cabin | |
| Are Merlin TSM speakers buried with their owners? Anyone like Spendor or B&W 805? | |
| Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both? Usually wide open, unless I'm driving. | |
| Has this ever happened to you? My "den" is where I mostly live when I ca't fish. In it, I; 1- Tie trout flies for a fly shop 2- Build old wooden sailing ship models 3- Tend to an online collectible postage stamp store 4- (Hate to admit this) Play an online video gam... | |
| Listening 1) Tie trout flies for a fly shop on Michigan's Au Sable River. 2) Tend to my online collectable postage stamp store. 3) Build period model wooden ships ( each one takes a year or two). I love it when I am doing one of the above and a cut comes... | |

| Movie/film suggestions. Can't believe I left this off......the recent Ripley series. In B+W, and is better than the Matt Damon movie (which I quite liked. It's a very dark movie, but extremely well done. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. So many....The Verdict, Sand Pebbles, Last of the Mohoicans, Twelve Angry Men (w/Henry Fonda), On The Beach (w/Peck), Caine Mutiny. Thirty SecondsOver Tokyo, Bataan.I could go on. Really sad that the new movies today are aimed at children and idi... | |
| Rogue Sphinx....good match with Merlin TSM? Which Denon are you suggesting? Also, aren’t Denons SS amps. Everything I’ve read and heard suggests Merlins excel with tubes. I’m not against SS, but that seems to be the consensus. Frankly, too many of the integrated the amps have....well....too... | |
| Rogue Sphinx....good match with Merlin TSM? Which version of the Billie do you have? I understand the Mk II version was quite an improvement over the Mk I. It also added a remote. There is a MkIII coming out next month, but price is over $3k. | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? I have not a clue what most of you said, but I thank you anyway. |
