Speakers Like Merlin VSM?


I once owned a pair of VSM-M's and regretably sold them. At the time I owned them I spent a good amount on my system and although it wasn't perfect I was never let down by these speakers. Actually they are the best I have heard to date. I once heard my Merlins hooked up to a Berning ZH-270 and it knocked me out.

I'm not real sure I could amass a system like that again but I was wondering..... Who's the new Merlin? I may just have to save up and go for it.

The Merlins with the BAM are just awesome especially if your into vinyl. If any of you live in Texas or nearby there and want to sell your Merlins please send me an e-mail.

Well guys thats what I figured. Have either of you heard them with the Berning amp? The other thing about the Merlins is what they can do in a smallish room... damn I miss mine. I'm moving to a smallish room and well... I'm hoping to have some extra money. I guess the ZH270 is about 5K now and the Merlins are prolly still about 8K. Man looking back it's hard to believe I had the system I did in college. OTOH, when thats all I spent my money on I guess it should be understandable.

I guess what the post should have really said was "Man I miss my Merlins"... heh anyway, It's gonna be tough but I'll try and get a used pair around Dallas. I wish I had kept the guys number I sold mine to.

Well I'll keep my eye out. I guess this post was a bit of a troll... how can someone want a sound like a Merlin and expect there to be alternatives. Those speakers are unforgetable 0_o!

I used to hang out here quiet a bit and now im trying to get my system straightened back out. I thought maybe someone could suggest a two way that even got close to the Merlins.
Okay im going to see what the nears sell for!

TubeGroover.... Man I'm jealous as hell of you man!
