Cruz123,
Very nice system. I own a Cary SLI-80 Sig as well. I used to own the Tyler Taylo Reference Monitors and they took about all the SLI-80 would muster in the Triode Mode which is what I prefer to listen to. The speakers did not seem as efficient as they were rated.
Needless to say. I sold them. If I am correct, the Merlins are around 87dB as well. I would email Bobby at Merlin and ask his advice. I would also suggest you look at some other speakers in the 89-90dB range if you plan on running your amp in triode mode as I do.
My 2 cents would be that you check out the Reference 3A monitors, the Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor, or even one of JM Labs higer serious monitors.
Good Luck!
Chris
