Who stay with Merlin longest time


Hi all,
Just wonder, Merlin ex- and current owners - Who set the record of oldest marriage with Merlin? :)
My second anniversary in Sept, yet I already sent them in for a face lift (master BAM/RC) :-)
My system's evolving around Merlins - costly but fun
Happy listening

Well...I don't really qualify for this thread since my TSM's are quite new, but I will say that I can't imagine a better small monitor (nor have I heard one) after more than 20 years in this hobby.
I do think that some people change speakers just to try something different and I've certainly sold off wonderful gear for change alone. Please stand by for 7-8 years and I'll post a follow-up!

Great story about Merlin and Bobby!

I hope he's not turning red from the comments, but that's what you get when handling customers properly. Pabul, I too have pretty much ended the endless wheel of auditioning stuff after buying the TSM's. I do on occasion listen to a BIG speaker and I plan on VSM's soon.

I don't know how motivated Bobby is to design a sub. There are already some excellent choices out there that blend well. My TSM's are currently running with an MJ Acoustics 150, which is a small sealed 10" with a remote. The remote and digital displays make the sub very easy to tune, even on the fly when tweaking for specific recordings. Sadly at around 1800.00 I wouldn't call it a bargain.
Sub is set to 47 hz roll-off.

What you could do...and this makes very little practical sense....is offer to refinish subs like mine so that they match the speakers!
