Sound wise...I am in a pretty good place right now. It is probably not fair to assess everything until I replace one of the tweeters in my Focals. One is more than cracked, so it contributes to a crispy sound on certain notes,guitar,etc.
I am also waiting to try some different tubes in my pre.
Then I will know where I am with the Focals and if I like their sound enough to hold on to them.

I found some Merlins here in Houston but cant seem to get the guy to respond so I can hear them.
Thanks for everyones input.
Tubegroover,
Please PM me if I can take you up on your offer to listen to Berning amps with MerlinsÂ… Thanks.

For an easy and inexpensive solution that might challenge most any other, I'd search high and low for a pair of the TAD Hibachi 125 monoblocks to try before dropping big bucks on something else, tube or SS, with the Merlins.
after trying many solid state amps and having ARS Fila i tried pathos logos

PATHOS LOGOS sounded beautiful with merlin vsm mme, AA prestige and all cardas golden reference cables..

I did an audition in my room .. brought it today... couldint be happier :)


tried Exposure 3010 with Merlin VSM and it was beautiful....i think the best Full SS amp i heard with Merlin ..110Watts
