amps for Merlin VSM-MXE


Hi guys,

Soon to be selling my anniversary Yamaha NSX-10000 and taking delivery of brand new Merlin MXE speakers.

Bobby tells me these new speakers are much friendlier to solid state designs...anyone using the MXE's yet and how do they fare?

I used to own the vsm-mm model with a modded Berning otl...both are now sold!

I also found that the little Leben CS-300X worked alarmingly well...enough to convince me that i could sell the Berning, use the Leben and save a bit of cash for the MXE's!

It seems that the market is choc full of very high quality amps at the moment! I was wondering about the red wine sig 30 myself.

In second Jond's recommendation for Air Tight, they're very good. If you're ready to wait a long time, the Ars Sonum Filarmonia will be even better for one third of the price...

Ars Sonum Filarmonia, Joule, Cary, Dartzeel and have heard VAC gear sounds stunning. Its all a matter of taste and budget.
It's been said(by someone with much experience)that the DarTZeel won't work with Merlins.
I am using with audio aero capitole 55 watts classe A, I do not think I will get better , maybe one SET with 30 - 50 watts , but in this case may I loose the great bass I have , and the mediuns I have are sweet and pristine, I know this audio aero is expensive but I do not wish to change this amplifier.
