Merlin VSM


I moved my system from a small room to a larger one 20 x 13. There is simply not enough bass from my KEF Reference 201/2 (associated eqip. is Aesthetix calypso, Primare A32 amp, Marantz SA1060 CD, Supra cabling). Would the Merlin VSM (MX or MXE)provide enough bass in my room? I am looking for a floorstander with a superb tweeter that is available used for $4000 or less. Music choice is primarily acoustic folk, rock and blugrass with symphonic music also (I know, weird combo). Thanks for your insight.

Consider small stand monitors of high quality with powered stereo subs. You get great soundstaging, clarity, pinpoint imaging and deep powerful bass. I have full range speakers with subs. It is amazing how much better the full range speakers sound, freed from the reproduction of bass. Were I to start from scratch, I would go with stand-mounted monitors with subs driven by a less powerful, class A amp.
