Tabl, with sunglasses of course... I wish I hadn't found that picture again. A pair of yellow vsm-mxs would look killer in here. Med school can't end fast enough...
I almost always listen with my eyes closed and/or with the lights off. Even looking at my speakers, I'd swear they weren't playing. I have a hard time believing that even a flashing neon vsm wouldn't disappear even with my eyes open:-)
I've seen a picture of a pair of ferarri yellow tsms somewhere. Having a pair of speakers to match my corvette would be cool, wouldn't it? I'm a sucker for yellow.
That being said, I'd have to vote for the black ice blue...those are just awesome.
Tabl, I thought that's where I'd seen it! I looked, and sure enough, there it is. http://www.sigsound.com/POTM_Pages/potm02_04.htm
Wow, I sure like that color more than I remember...One day whenever I buy me a pair of VSM-MXs, or whatever will the the creme de la creme, I think I might have to go for yellow...
Baddabob, Bobby is a really generous and above all knowledgable guy. I know I called him with absolutely no intention of buying a new pair of merlins; I called just to be sure before when I was considering purchasing a used pair. Despite being told he had no chance of making ANY money off of me, he spent an hour on the phone with me explaining his design philosophy and answering many, many questions. Even if you never purchase a pair of merlin speakers, either new or used, his insight will serve to be extremely valuable for whatever direction you seem to go.
That being said, he will turn you on to many LOW cost amps (belles 150 hot rod ~700) that will do the merlins justice. I'd place a wager that your ultimate outcome will be similar to mine... I've never been happier with any purchase EVER.
