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.

I have had the tsm-mm, tsm-mx, and now the vsm-mm as well as numerous B&W nautilus/signatures and must say I prefer the vsm-mm. As you stated they require a good setup, but customer support can point you in the right direction. If you were happy with the vsm, try the new mm.

I am a fan of merlin products and have owned several versions. Aside from being pro merlin, bobby has provided me the BEST support of ANY company from which I have done business. He is very fair in his critiques and will openly admit when his product isn't right for somenone. That being said, WE ALL take offense when someone gives a poor critique of a product we are "close to." Read the forums on most speakers, amps, cdp and if it has enough time someone takes a comment personally for the above reason the race starts. So, don't hold bobby to a different standard than each of us. Give bobby a break, he is a great guy who has given countless hours of audio enjoyment to us via his speakers.
