Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-MMM Monitor


Category: Speakers

I just upgraded my TSM-MM to the TSM-MMM. I have had them back less than a week and I am very impressed by the upgrade.I really enjoyed my TSM-MM but I got the upgrade bug about 1 month ago so I called and talked to bobby at merlin and he suggested I upgrade my TSM-MM to the TSM-MMM and WOW am I glad he did.I have put only 5 hours on them since getting them back last week but they sound incredible.The bass is tighter the mids are more open and airy the soundstage is bigger and the highs are crisp.I was struck especially with how musical they are I could actually hear the reverberation from the strings on a guitar that I have never heard before.The only problem is they are so revealing they make me want to upgrade the rest of my system even more now.I like listening to Female vocals above all and little bits of Jazz and classical and some 80's rock.I would highly recommend these speaker to anyone looking for a pair of monitor speakers and especially to those with the TSM-MM already to upgrade to the TSM-MMM for a small fee for the great reward of a much better sound.

I assume you are speaking about the move from the MMi to the MMM, correct? According to Bobby at Merlin, the only changes are the Cardas clear geometry cable being used in the internal harnesses, the jumpers and the rc's. He also said a full burn-in would require 100 hours after the upgrade. I have not sent mine in yet, but will probably do so shortly.
