Merlin owners

I have the Merlin VSM-M without the BAM (and have never heard one). The Merlin site states: 5.2dB of boost at 35 Hz; Subsonic bass roll-off below 27Hz. I chose not to use a BAM because I use a low power SET amp for which 5.2dB would be rather significant. I let the lows roll off naturally and add a solid state sub for the bottom down to 20Hz.

GO TO WWW.MERLINMUSIC.COM CLICK ON the VSM-millennium speaker click on the merlin bam and they will tell you everything you want to know about the bam.

The above is correct...the BAM isn't digital. I have tried my VSM-Ms without the BAM (Battery BAM). THey're great either way, but I really prefer them with the BAM (although I don't have a SET amp wattage/efficiency issue like the above post mentions).
