Blue Circle amp with TSM


I got the Merlin TSM last month and feed it with my 300B PP amp with 22W. I feel that the 22W was under power for my Merlin after listening for this period. Thinking of replacing it with the BC22, which I am using the BC21 pre now. Any comments or other amp that suit the TSM best.Regards.

I've been using the BC21/BC22 combo with ProAc 1SCs for almost a year now and love the match. Good power, huge soundstage, enough detail for me and nice warmth. Tube rolling the BC21 with some WWII NOS 6SN7s has worked wonders for this set up.

Gilbert told me at this past CES that the guy from Audio Note bought up all the remaining "good" 6SN7s. I didn't ask him if that was the reason the new BC21.1 now uses two 6922s.

The BC24 and BC28 both have my curiosity.
