NOLA Boxers in my space
I am extremely interested in these Nola Boxers and have been for a while now. Kev and Dm's comments only further my intrigue. Does anyone have any experience comparing them to the Master Merlin TSM-Mmi's?

Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI?
Driving mine with a Cary SLI-80 F1 Signature, All Triode, Zero NFB and love it. I listen to mostly acoustic jazz and chamber classical but female vocals are spooky.

Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic
BobbyP is a class act. Has always gone out of his way to entertain any question that I may have and actually encourages you to call him to speak person-to-person. It's near impossible to find that kind of service nowadays; not to mention character.

@Airegin - Great album there. One of the better jazz releases I have heard this year as well. 
SS amp for Merlin VSMs?

Q Bias for Cary SLI-80
I figured I would bump this thread to see if anyone has played around with biasing on the Cary SLI-80 preferably in triode mode and KT88's. Preferences/Opinions?I'll echo Artmaltman's question above.

Pubul, if you opt to audition/purchase the Mcintosh, I would love to hear your feedback on the combo. 
Grilles or No Grilles
Yea, I have always been under the assumption that grilles are for protection and aesthetic reasons.Although, before I ever got into this crazy hobby, I NEVER removed the grilles. lol
