why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?
To find information about Merlin Music for a friend, I went looking yesterday for the the Web page—only to learn of Bobby's death last year.  I can never listen to my TSM's, which I continue to thoroughly enjoy, without recalling the lengthy, illu... 
why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?
I've spent more time with my TSM's sans Master RC network. At this point I am quite certain my system's sound quality has improved significantly (after the RC network was removed).A couple of my favorite cuts are complicated/complex pieces with a ... 
why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?
I just added to my system page, a brief description of the surprising change (seems to be an improvement) in SQ I experienced today when I removed the Master RC network from my TSM's. 
Electric Bill
Timely thread. For the past week I've been letting my system play throughout the day at above-moderate volume while I've been at work (long workdays since my children are away on vacation), breaking in a pair of new speakers. This thread prompted ...

My new Merlin TSM MXM's arrived yesterday afternoon. Earlier in this thread I promised to report my initial impressions.The speakers arrived extremely well-packaged and included clear instructions (which specified a recommended break-in period). R... 
why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?
My new Merlin Master TSM's are being completed as I type this. If you wish, when they arrive, I'd be happy to share my initial impression followed eventually by a more studied impression after I've lived with them awhile. This won't be a formal re... 
Rack for System and CD player recommendations
When MusicDirect reduced its price (from ~$950 to ~$700) for the SolidSteel 5.5 rack a few months ago, I purchased one. I had purchased a 3-shelf SolidSteel rack new ca. 1995 when SolidSteel began being imported into the US, and I had been hoping ... 
Spectral DMC-90's as Mono Amps?
Thanks, Shubertmaniac, for describing your experience with bridged DMA-50's.Based on what I've read in this thread and elsewhere on the Web, I've just made the decision to forgo purchasing a second DMA-90 with the intention of running both in brid... 
Spectral DMC-90's as Mono Amps?
I telephoned Spectral a couple days ago and was transferred to "Mark" in the service department for a brief but informative conversation. I learned from him: (1) In general, if a Spectral amp seems to be working fine, there is absolutely no need t... 
Spectral DMC-90's as Mono Amps?
Tkmetz, thanks for describing your experience. Maybe it is at this increased noise level Razmika was hinting. Certainly, this is something to seriously consider. This and the fact that I would be purchasing (and needing to maintain) a nearly 20-ye... 
Spectral DMC-90's as Mono Amps?
Razmika,Can you elaborate? The amp has a specific switch on the back panel intended just for this purpose. You've actually listened to music played through such a system, and it sounds compromised? 
Spectral DMC-90's as Mono Amps?
Thanks, Tan. A long time ago I remember seeing a system which had Wilson speakers powered this same way. I don't remember whether I liked the sound or not, though. 
How are Hig-End Speakers Priced?
I didn't know this thread was still alive. (I'm not receiving e-mail notices.)Here is a bit of my perspective: I returned home from work rather late last evening, a bit worn out by some projects I've been struggling with. I turned on my DMA-90 to ...

I wish there were a "like" button for individual posts on Audiogon forums.
