| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series Rcr I would expect that without the BAM what you heard was quite a bit leaner presentation than what you would hear with it. If you have not heard this speaker with the BAM in full battery mode I am confident your listening impressions would be di... | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series I certainly can't offer the depth of experience Jacob has since he owned and listened extensively to both the Kharmas and Merlins but I would like to comment. At the home entertainment show in NYC I had the opportunity to hear the 3.2's with Lamm ... | |
| Vibration Problem I also recommend the Ginko Audio Cloud 10 under your CD player. I currently am using it under several components with stellar results. I have tried several other devices and all work to varying degrees. The Ginko just works the best overall. Measu... | |
| Norah's new album,,FEB 9th. Can she do it again??? Ecclectic, get better with age? Some do and some don't. I really loved the young Barbra Streisand, the freshness and power of her voice. Did she improve? I don't think so, just bigger production values in her recordings. I find much of her later s... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. I'm sure they are Brian, I was just surprised as it was coming from you who I hold in high regard in both your demeanor and taste. I just feel that Jim has received enough flack from everyone else, the point was well made prior to your post. Along... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Brian Welch, why the condescending attitude towards Jim? He is passionate in his belief that Brooks has his speaker but maybe hasn't realized its potential. There seems to have been a few assumptions made that I wasn't aware of until Brooks's last... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Yo Bob, how's Fritz doing these days? | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Yes indeed, it is all about the goosebump factor and that is all we can hope for. Audiophiles always remind me of greyhounds chasing the mechanical rabbit or Cubs and Boston fans, what would they do with themselves if they won the Series? | |
| Couple of questions on the Merlin VSM speakers... Well Rich why don't you try to "sribe" it to me, I'm feeling this great loss now! btw, what % improvement do you conservatively estimate it is over the existing Millenium? Rumors are flying. | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Rhyno, I have to respectfully disagree with your statement that Merlins don't get venue. This goes back to the issue of room size. I have heard some quite large systems myself including Infinity IRS 5's and the big Genesis system that get venue ab... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. KevinKwann as a Merlin owner, I agree that Merlin is excellent at dynamic contrasts but would further say the Sound Labs EXCEL at low level dynamic contrasts of musical instruments to a greater extent, I haven't heard it done better by any speaker... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Tom, if you ever take a vacation down to Florida, we have a few family attractions that some folks clamor to see, you are always more than welcome. If you have a family, it is a great two birds with one stone trip. | |
| Merlin Mil. w/hybrid amps?? Brooks, I understand that Merlin will be teaming up with Berning and Stillpoints in Montreal this March. It might well be worth it for you to listen and then check out the NY Hi-end show with the Joules. You will get a good idea of the differences... | |
| Couple of questions on the Merlin VSM speakers... Budrew, I am in total agreement with Tvad, these speakers DO DO what they do extremely well. My interest in these speakers probably borders on obsessive, they have given me a true appreciation of their virtues and a sober realization of their shor... | |
| Merlin Mil. w/hybrid amps?? Hi Brooks, I would like to chime in on this if I may. I currently own the Berning zh270 OTL that has been totally tweeked out, every conceivable upgrade including cryoed outputs, various sets of NOS inputs, cryoed wire ERS and tube dampers. It is ... |
