| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series "It is about my personal taste and opinion and that is what my customers seem to be in agreement with."I agree with you Jtinn and that is fine with me. I hope you'll accept the fact that during my all too brief listen to the Kharmas I found them d... | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series "You build a fine speaker and I am not going to get into why I greatly prefer the Kharmas, because like you, I am in the industry and have a vested interest."You just gave one Jtinn. Your passion in your preferences is well documented as are mine ... | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series Thanks Kevin for your input. I heard others say the same as you. On the other hand, Bob Harley said it was the best to his ears. My yardstick is live music too. I've played it enough and listened enough over the years and I'm sorry to inform you i... | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series Rcr I would expect that without the BAM what you heard was quite a bit leaner presentation than what you would hear with it. If you have not heard this speaker with the BAM in full battery mode I am confident your listening impressions would be di... | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series I certainly can't offer the depth of experience Jacob has since he owned and listened extensively to both the Kharmas and Merlins but I would like to comment. At the home entertainment show in NYC I had the opportunity to hear the 3.2's with Lamm ... | |
| Vibration Problem I also recommend the Ginko Audio Cloud 10 under your CD player. I currently am using it under several components with stellar results. I have tried several other devices and all work to varying degrees. The Ginko just works the best overall. Measu... | |
| Norah's new album,,FEB 9th. Can she do it again??? Ecclectic, get better with age? Some do and some don't. I really loved the young Barbra Streisand, the freshness and power of her voice. Did she improve? I don't think so, just bigger production values in her recordings. I find much of her later s... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. I'm sure they are Brian, I was just surprised as it was coming from you who I hold in high regard in both your demeanor and taste. I just feel that Jim has received enough flack from everyone else, the point was well made prior to your post. Along... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Brian Welch, why the condescending attitude towards Jim? He is passionate in his belief that Brooks has his speaker but maybe hasn't realized its potential. There seems to have been a few assumptions made that I wasn't aware of until Brooks's last... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Yo Bob, how's Fritz doing these days? | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Yes indeed, it is all about the goosebump factor and that is all we can hope for. Audiophiles always remind me of greyhounds chasing the mechanical rabbit or Cubs and Boston fans, what would they do with themselves if they won the Series? | |
| Couple of questions on the Merlin VSM speakers... Well Rich why don't you try to "sribe" it to me, I'm feeling this great loss now! btw, what % improvement do you conservatively estimate it is over the existing Millenium? Rumors are flying. | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. Rhyno, I have to respectfully disagree with your statement that Merlins don't get venue. This goes back to the issue of room size. I have heard some quite large systems myself including Infinity IRS 5's and the big Genesis system that get venue ab... | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. KevinKwann as a Merlin owner, I agree that Merlin is excellent at dynamic contrasts but would further say the Sound Labs EXCEL at low level dynamic contrasts of musical instruments to a greater extent, I haven't heard it done better by any speaker... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Tom, if you ever take a vacation down to Florida, we have a few family attractions that some folks clamor to see, you are always more than welcome. If you have a family, it is a great two birds with one stone trip. |
