Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Checked out those Joseph speakers... Imagine a VSM with that setup.I get it. | |
Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Jimbo... your custom room is ~13' x 18' and you're thinking you need a bigger speaker for it? Are you sure it isn't pollen causing an itch? In the past, I've lent a friend my Joule VZN-80 amp for a while... he still talks about it. Could be tha... | |
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? I've scrolled thru this entire thread. Recently, my wife and I finally finished watching Breaking Bad. We're both disappointed that it's over. She's actually complaining about it. I may have her start reading this thread. Maybe, maybe not... ... | |
Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers? Dumbeat, I bought a pair of Merlin VSM speakers from Bobby in 1999-ish... I'd have to check the receipt to remember for sure. He upgraded them once and they had better bass as a result. In 2001, I bought a Joule VZN-80 amp. Why? Well, my wife ... | |
Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's Tubegroover: His system just sounds about as good as I’ve ever heard it and get this, he changed electronics from vintage ARC gear to a Creek Integrated, you wouldn’t believe it and neither would I until you heard it. Have we grown tired of the De... | |
Who stay with Merlin longest time I bought a pair of VSM-SE speakers from Bobby in Dec '99. He later upgraded them to MM version - huge leap in performance. I think one of the things about the VSM is they don't look like they should be able to do what they actually do. People see ... | |
Merlin what have you seen? Give me the one with the lowest damping factor and I'll take my chances. | |
Speakers Like Merlin VSM? Avivey, to Sbank's point, it's actually not a bad thing that you sold the VSM-Ms because the MM or MX are a huge step up. They play bigger / louder, yet don't get strained like the SE when you push them a bit. Much more ease. I could not believe t... | |
Speakers Like Merlin VSM? One unfortunate thing of having a Merlin VSM-MM / Joule setup, as I do, is that you sometimes miss out on all the fun - like this thread - because you are not surfing audiogon 24/7 looking for that missing piece of magic that your system needs. Ye... | |
What new amp for my Merlins Jay, I appreciate that you are asking about which amp to use but besides that, you really should send your speakers for the "MM" and Super Bam upgrade. I just got my SE speakers back and the improvement is astounding. They are head and shoulders b... | |
All Merlin family members. for what it's worth, if i could i would have nothing in between the speakers except for the amp on the floor. i would treat the front wall as necessary. in reality i have a low, wide 22" high cabinet with a plasma tv on the wall. i'm having a cove... | |
GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM songwriter, i read this prior to your further comments:"The ability to play and enjoy ANY recording is one of the primary advantages of time/phase aligned speakers. I no longer have un-listenable or un-enjoyable recordings in my collection since p... | |

Eggleston, Merlin, Jean Marie Reynaud???? pluto, do you have a $$ figure you are trying to stick to? reason being, you can spend surprisingly little and have a joule / merlin setup. the joule electra vamp integrated is a great integrated and a superb match for the tsm's. i bought my integ... | |
