Whats up with Merlin?

I also have Merlin VSM-Ms and have had similarly great responses to emails from Bobby. I considered the TSMs but preferred the VSMs. I use the VSMs in a very small listening room (7.5x10x8) with great results. I purchased mine from Signature Sound. They have a demo policy where they send a pair to you for a tryout and then order a new pair for you if you like them. I had them send me a pair of TSMs for evaluation before I bought the VSMs. (They put a hold on your credit card for the selling price while you have their speakers.) They're great to deal with - highly recommended. You can check out their web site and get their contact info at www.sigsound.com. (P.S. Bobby directed me to them when I told him that there was nowhere for me to audition his speakers.) Good luck!

I have the VSM-M's also,brand new, and can say that Bobby is one of the easiest company ceo's you can get a hold of directly in the industry. He stops what he's doing on the spot to talk to his customers. Wow! As for the speakers, they are like the Grand Canyon, you just have to see/hear them in person to get the full undrstanding of what they are. The comment above about Signature Sound is correct, I have had very good service from them and their web site has great pictures of the Merlins (archives).

Other than a long time in ordering speakers and turn-around time, you shouldn't have a problem getting speakers, parts, or even feedback! YOu can usually talk to someone or they'll get back with ya. The TSM'M's sound very nice with the right gear, set up closer to the walls(each room varries) for reinforcement of the bass. For the money, theirs not much that's more musical and natural sounding. They are overall very good $2500 monitors.
Good luck

i own the Merlin TSM-M speakers. They are very nice sounding; smooth and crisp.I also have talked with bobby; he is nice to speak with will give you any info you need...you can't go wrong with the Merlins...but listen before you buy...

Bobby is the best! I love both the VSMM's and TSMM's. You can find lots of reviews and a ton of happy Merlin owners.
