need help with Merlin vsm mme for home theater

thinking of buying vsm mme, my questions are, is it possible to use my Jlaudio f113 subwoofer with the speakers and not use the Bams? or do the bams have affect on the mids?
What is meant by RC's?
Is anyone using the vsm for home theater?
Since they're not demanding at 89db I was thinking of using my Arcam avr400, I know the speakers sound great with tube amp but I'm interested in a HT set up with what I have right now.
any input would be very helpful.
Thank you

Tesseract86,

The BAM's boost is centered at 35 Hz. I'm not sure what range it operates over (Q) but I would think that your idea of trying the crossover at 40 Hz would be a good starting point.

I'm sure I read a thread here about the ideal subwoofer xver points for the Merlins.

Djohnson54,
My Arcam'avr400's crossover low is 40Hz but I can always tweak it manually, I'm getting the bams as well, they need batteries? but I will hook it up as well and see if I can achieve a decent rollover.
thanks you for the info

They will sound perfectly fine with the Straightwire, assuming the connections are all good. I would think about cables till you have at least a year with your new toy!
