Definitely, placing my order for that one! I have a few Mosaic Records box set, and found them to be exquisite.

Indeed, one of my all time favorite from Getz. Picked up a sealed vinyl copy from a local record store. Voyage, truly appropriate the music transports you!

Review: Merlin Music Systems Master VSM Speaker
Bobby, As far as diagonal set up goes, which I'm using, what would you suggest or recommend as far as isolation? Got the ceiling corners covered already.Thanks.David 
Berning EA-230 vs RM-10mkII with Merlin VSM
The Joule pre that Tmiddle is referring to, I'm the one who bought it from him. It was an LA100 MK3 to be precise which drove a pair of TSM-MX along with a pair of Manley Snappers. Wondeful combination, the joule providing the romance, and the Sna...

Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners
Hi B,When were all those changes implemented in the Fila?David 
From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal
I'm actually trying to secure a listening session @ In Living Stereo in order to hear the Super 8s. If that happens, I'll bring my amp, ARS Sonum Filarmonia, in order to get a true evaluation, if I decide to go this rout! Stereo5, please post your... 
Help building new system: devore, verity or Sonus?
Brookjoo, I'm running a pair of Merlins VSM-MX in a 13' X 13' room, a perfect square, with excellent results. Many attempts were tried to use the speakers in a conventional way, but it was just impossible, until they were set up diagonally!If you ... 
Book Review: Thelonious Monk, The Life and Times..
Indeed, a most thoughtful and insightful thread. I grew up listening to Monk's music, thanks to my Dad who would on occasion play such tunes as, Brilliant Corners, Smokes gets in your Eyes, my Dad's favorite....... I'll have to order it too.Thank ... 
Affordable SS Integrated for Merlin TSMs
Merlin speakers love tube amps. There is currently an Aero Prima integrated amp on Audiogon right now. No connection to the seller, but I think would be an ideal match.You could also email Bobby @ Merlin and ask his opinion.Good Luck. 
Room dimensions - can this work?
I'm getting excellent results in a 13' X 13' room using a diagonal set up! I'm also using in the ceiling corners, "corner busters" which I've made myself, using acoustical foams.I'm sure many others can chime in using this particular set up.Good l... 
Preamp for manley snappers
I always felt that the Snappers sounded better, more open, through the XLR inputs!The plus with the VTL 5.5 is the fact that it has XLR outputs.Definitely worth a try.Good luck with your audition, and post your opinions when you get a chance. 
Preamp for manley snappers
Member Face has a good point, why not go for a Manley pre? They're seems to be great synergy within the line, so I read!I owned a pair of Snappers a few years back and drove them with a Bat VK3i, Audible illusions, and a Joule LA100 Mk3. The Joule...
