| Merlin TSM comparisons I found that following the directions mad a BIG difference in sound. | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I agree tubes don't work well with the OHMS, but the Unison Research Unico hybrid did a nice job. I thought the Triangle Cometes performed much better with tubes. | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I also used an Onkyo 9555,class D, with the Ohms and it was a very good match. As far as Merlin goes they only make two models,one monitor and one floorstander, which are both two way designs and have been continuously evolving over the years with... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I found the Ohms like power. My 85wpc Unison Research Unico sounded good, but my Thule IA252B 250wpc integrated sounded better. The Merlins like tubes and I prefer tubes, butI tried the TSM's with my Redgum RGI35 35wpc solid state amp and it sound... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Mapman you are right there is a big price difference, but the is also a big difference in performance. Of course they offer very different designs and sounds so as always personal preference is the key and I gave mine. The person I sold the Micro ... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I used to own the Ohm Micro Talls and they are terrific little speakers with the added benefit of a very small footprint. That being said the Merlins are in another league in every area I can think of, but again I feel Ohm makes an excellent speak... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Mapman, I think they bested the Cometes, a speaker that I feel is an excellent high value monitor, very clearly in just about every area. They are much more transparent, have much greater tonal accuracy, a bigger and more natural sound stage and b... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I sold my Triangle Cometes around six months ago and I thought they were fine speakers, especially for the money, and did well at low volume levels, but the Merlins clearly best the Cometes in every area I can think of including low volume listeni... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Very thoughtful and enlightening review!!! | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons This is why my next upgrade will be not be to better electronics, but to the current model Merlins TSM's. | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Hello Robbob. I am using a Thule Space DVA250B CD/DVDA player and a TRL modded Sony 900 CD/SACD player. Both players sound excellent. I have Skylan 2 post stands and JWN EL34 push pull 35wpc amp and a Jolida JD50A passive. The JWN amp is excellent... | |
| Obscure companies making excellent speakers? Tekton, KCS and Hornshoppe Horns all make great sounding and high value loudspeakers. I have heard good things about Fritz as well, but I still haven't tried them. | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I guess if you read all of the positive comments by owners of Merlins without having heard them, you could feel it is sort of like a cult because many owners are very passionate about their speakers, but because the speakers are so good once you s... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Just because many people appreciate an excellent product that gives them pleasure and they share their feelings doesn't mean it is a cult. A cult insinuates to me an excessive admiration. The admiration of Merlin speakers by its owners is justifie... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I agree with you Robbob about the great sound the Merlin TSM's deliver, I own TSM-MXE's, and a person who hasn't owned or spent a good amount of time with Merlin speakers viewing the comments of their owners as possessing a cult-like devotion to M... |
