Merlin Owners - Opinions?

What are the differences between TSMs and VSMs in sound quality? I presume, of course, the bass response is much deeper and stronger with the VSM but is there a family resemblance and if so, what would that be? Any indications of peakiness, hardness, fatiguing resolution or hyper-detailing? What are the differences between the various iterations (M, MM, etc). In a small room (11 x 13.5 x 8ft high) would the VSM fit or would it overpower? How SET freindly are both speakers? Thanks in advance, people!!

hi howard,
the vsm ms are great but if someone contacts you with the opportunity to hear the mm or mxs, that would be better yet.
regards,

david's post is a very good one because it is totally indicative of how resolving the speakers are and the effects of the ancillaries tonal balance on the sound of the system. i have said for many years that the speakers have a full extended sound but if you use wires or amps that sound lean, that is the way the system will sound. the speakers use many forms of damping to remove distortion and resonance. that being said they have a minimum of their own color. using them with equipment that offers a neutral tonal balance will get the most out of them as david has found.
