MERLIN.....Thank You.

To all Merlin Owners and Agon Members

I would like to take this opertuinity to thank all of you who have contributed/ansered my and others threads regarding the Merlin VSM speakers.Your input have been extremely helpful in my decision to purchase this fine example in the art of speaker manufacturing.

Thank you to Bobby and all at Merlin,the quality of your service is a rare find.

My speakers arrived four days ago and are now being run in.At this stage I can confirm what you have all said,that these are special speakers.They are the most natural sounding speakers I have ever heard.Amazing,unforced music reproduction at the highest level.

A few questions :
1)Zobel network.How do most of you use the speakers with or with out the network.What are the differences I can expect ?(I use a Pathos Logos amp, which as far as I know do not have a Zobel network)
2)BAM module.Which way of switching do you prefer,AC,50/50 or Battery alone.Again what would the expected differences be ?
3)How long can I expect the batteries of the BAM to last ?

As always your input will be greatly appreciated and highly valued.

my canadian friend explained the questions away with great accuracy. thanks dave.
chris you are a very kind man to say what you did and thank you.
still in vegas at the show and am excited to see how the speakers improve for you with time.
us blues, something must be odd in your system for you to not hear the rcs or the bam power options. what wires are you using?
give me a call when i get back to discuss this as these changed should be really obvious.

Bobby, how are your parents doing? I believe that you had stated they were in an accident awhile back. Hope that they're doing OK, and that you also had a good show at the CES!

Dr. Chris, I'm glad you finally got your speakers! Echoing what has been said before, the zobel networks make a great improvement in sound, and I prefer the all battery bam mode. Once everything has a chance to burn in, your enjoyment will only increase.

I, too, was involved in a major accident many years ago (10 days in ICU, 5 months total hospitalization, and another 4 months of rehab). I know it's tough, but hopefully, things will rapidly improve. May your next New Year's 2006 be a much happier time for you, and a holiday worthy of a true celebration. My prayers are with you and your family.
