Speakers Like Merlin VSM?
Okay im going to see what the nears sell for!TubeGroover.... Man I'm jealous as hell of you man! 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
MERLIN VSM..... boy do I wish I still had mine. If I ever have the money for a really nice system again I will buy these in a heartbeat. Then I'll get a Berning ZH-270 and be set for life.... at least for my taste. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
MERLIN VSM-M on a BERNING ZH-270!Call me crazy but I doubt you can top that combo for double maybe even triple the money. 
Integrated for Merlin Vsm
Honestly...The best thing you could do would be call Bobby. Try and get and OTL rig on the cheap would be my advice. Make sure you never listen to these speakers on a ZH-270 or you will be so amazed it will ruin everything else for you. Anyhow tha... 
Speakers Like Merlin VSM?
Well guys thats what I figured. Have either of you heard them with the Berning amp? The other thing about the Merlins is what they can do in a smallish room... damn I miss mine. I'm moving to a smallish room and well... I'm hoping to have some ext... 
Best Component Ever, for the money
Giffin Powerwave amp with madisound BK-16's430 dollars for an amp and a set of folded horns 
bluenote borghese and shelter 501?
Thanks Ozzy!Do the morch's suffer from the same problems?I was looking at the UP-4 when I came across the bluenote.Sound like the bluenote is out, thanks for the info. I guess the OL-Silver and the 501 shelter would comply.Thanks for your time.Nathan

What cartridges would pair well with these tonearms.I'm not as interested in the cartridge as the tonearm. 
What tube preamp to get to smooth out the sound?????
Great unit! 
Recommendation Tube amp to drive Revel Studio
I wouldn't worry about the Berning. It can drive huge sound labs speakers. It also has an A/B switch so when your changing pre-amps you can still listen to music or better yet sell your pre-amp and run and audio aero straight into the Berning.If y... 
Who's to blame for the Grain??
I don't think there's any cheap solution. Maybe an antique sound labs integrated with an ah tjoeb and horn shoppe speakers???If you're into music I honestly wouldn't bother trying to do HT and 2 channel. It takes a load of $. I've been through too... 
Recommendation Tube amp to drive Revel Studio
I don't own Salons but the ZH-270 is easily the best buy for a speaker of this type.Also Consider 845 Based SET's. 
Haggemann phono preamp?
The Trumpet is trully one of the few audio products that is a keeper. Even before I heard it I had that majical feeling. It's a thing of beaity and the sound is even better. Let's just hope Mr. Hagerman will design an amp that performs like the Tr... 
Nottingham Owners - Please Help
Mine either!It's absolutely brilliant!Once you cure your motor prob you'll be smilling like Bill Clinton after a "meeting" with some Japanese business men. 
Willing to be proved wrong.
I've really enjoyed my Dynavectors they sound great.Did you get the Radio Shack Little Rat Yet?Vinyl is worth the hassle, CD does make for a good warm up though. A sort of foreplay :)
