merlin used or new

the gen 3 cannot be upgraded to a vsm mm because the cabinet construction, enclosure material, port alignment, internal damping products and adhesives are all different. there is a substantial difference in the potential sound of the mm and gen 3 cabinet. your plan of upgrading a gen 3 is not recommended.
only certain late ses and the millennium may be upgraded to the mm and before you purchase anything used, call the factory and ask for me with the serial number and i will tell you what you are looking at.
