Bobby,

My pleasure, and I know you'll be able to help.

All the best,

John

Thank you all for your inputs

I use my Merlin vsm MMe, Master BAM & Master RC,
AA Prestige SACD,
ARS Fila SE or Pathos Logos or Exposure 3010S2 pre/power (tonal quality is same in all three amps , all equally good),
all Cardas GR,
Equi Tech 2rqe.

Ars Fila SE does not have enough power to excite this room.
Pathos Logos = better drive than ARS Fila SE, but not enough
Exposure 3010S2 is best of all the three,but wish i had a little more power

OR a smaller room :)

I used to enjoy Fila SE in a small room before (10 feet *13 feet)

It seems you have answered your question, the amp doesn't have enough "drive" to excite the room and engage you as it did in your previous room. I went through the same issue when I moved to a larger room when I was using a 25 watt OTL with the VSM. You just need more power to fulfill what it is you feel missing. This is really subjective from listener to listener but amplifier power seems very much the issue in your case.
