| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Tbg,You get to hear (the clue) by Sjofn? What did you think, if so? | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Mapman,To my sadness, I never made it to RMAF this year. I was supposed to attend, but on my way to the airport to leave for Denver, my Prius was rear-ended at fairly high speed by a Ford F350 pickup truck. (The driver had either fallen asleep at ... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Anybody make it to the Merlin room? | |
| Best speakers to use with Mahi Mahi amps Hi,I wouldn't claim that these are the "best speakers" to use with the Mahi's, but with mine I am running a pair of Merlin TSM-mmi's and they make wonderful music together. Bobby P of Merlin is a tube lover at heart and while my Merlins sounded fi... | |
| Smallish floorstander that sounds good placed just What about the Ohm Micro Walsh Tall? A used pair should be under $1000. Output is attenuated in the rear, to prevent problems with reflections. Might be a great choice. | |
| "Best" speakers new/used under $3,000? For what it's worth, Sloane27, I've owned Ohms (Micro Walsh Talls and then 100's) and currently have the Merlin TSM-mmi.If your room is very lively (which it sounds like it might be) then I'm not so sure Ohm is your best choice. Much as I loved mu... | |
| Speakers that are RAP music proof Yeah, I'm gonna agree with my friend Mapman on this one. Ohm Walshes are definitely worth a look. They're insanely well priced, they go really deep, and the pseudo-omni design means you don't have to sit perfectly still in a tiny sweet spot... the... | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Feeding the troll here, but...Okay, Jimbo2. Over the 25 odd years I've been in seriously into this hobby I've owned:Vandersteen 2c'sTotem Arro'sOhm Micro Walsh Tall's and 100 S-3'sSilverline Preludes (briefly)Ascend Sierra 1's (very briefly)PSB Sy... | |
| Speakers with wide listening window Ditto: look at Ohm. You get a 4month in-home trial; if you don't like them, you're only out the cost of shipping them back. Whether or not you like their presentation is a matter of personal taste, but they're definitely worth a look. Very well pr... | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile Pubul57,I agree with your last post; I treat the mags as entertainment. | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Several months ago, I upgraded my TSM-mmi rig from the RC's to the Master RC's. I can now report that the upgrade was unquestionably cost effective and very worthwhile. The Master RC's are beginning to really break in, and the improvement from the... | |
| the clue by Sjofn HiFi at RMAF Anybody using these in their rig these days? Interested to hear how they're working out for you, if so. Thanks! | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Most of us who don't have dedicated listening rooms end up making compromises, for sure. But I agree with Bobby that the room is key. Putting an area carpet down in my listening room, which otherwise is very "live," made a big difference for not a... | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music I know that this comment is slightly off topic but for what it's worth, I've stopped asking whether my rig captures the "Absolute Sound" of live, unamplified, acoustic instruments, and shifted instead to asking how well my rig reproduces what the ... | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? Pmboyd,I have the TSM-mmi's and they are marvelous; sweet and musical. And they are about as balanced and flat top to bottom as you could ask for. Bobby P has great ears and makes a wonderful product. Good luck! |
