why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?

call spectral to see if your amp is terminated with a zobel.
if it is, then what you are experiencing makes sense.

to all, we have a couple of reviews in the works at this time.
we are also working on a new site and it will be up shortly. i am sorry for any confusion, hopefully we will clear it up soon.
kitchen, today there are 5 pairs of merlin speakers for sale on audiogon. this is not a large amount when you consider how many years they have been in production and the thousands of pairs in the field. people tend to keep them or get them upgraded. and goat, if you still have them you should give me a call because i have a few suggestions to make them sound much fuller and more relaxed.

duke, your words mean a lot to me, and i thank you! :)

to the rest, consider that the tsm and vsm have been built for close to 20 years. i do not think that 7 versions during that time is excessive when compared to new car models each and every year.

maril, i do not dispute what you say because all of this is about personal taste. but never forget that the vsm even with the bam is a "floor standing mini monitor." i never called it a full range or big room speaker. when you consider its bass quantity and extension in comparison to other mini monitors, it has incredible bass when used in
recommended rooms.

thank you.

rx, i am sure you will find that your spectral amp is terminated with a zobel or there may be some sort of a network in your mit cables.
arj, find out if the amp from leben is terminated with a zobel as well.
personal taste is involved here and what the rest of the system sounds like has an effect as well. that is why we make the rcs removable so "you" can find your preference and use them or not. for unterminated amps in high res systems the rcs are a must imho.
tubeears, more than anyone i am happy for you. it would have been interesting to hear your thoughts about our latest versions wired with cardas clear.
best,
bobby

i think it would be excellent!

tubears, make sure they are the vsm mmm or mxm versions wired with clear as well as master bam and master rc's.
thank you.
