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

I just want to add that the person selling me the vsm is buying the latest merlins vsm again, that speaks volume about these speakers.
thanks
t, you do know there is a tsm and vsm center channel do you not? imho the speakers have a sound that is on the organic side and you must be careful to use a center that is similar in sound or you will not use it especially if it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Bobby,
I understand what you mean, that they should have the same voicing or timbre.
I recently purchased a 5.1 speaker set wich I need to sell before I accumulate a collection of speakers around the house, as soon as I set up the vsm I'll be looking to buy the vsm center and then the tsm, so I will call in a couple of weeks and order the vsm center for sure if thats the way to do it?
I'm sure I'll have future questions and I thank you for making yourself available to help out understanding the Merlin system.
Thank you Bobby
t, you actually would/may be able to use the tsm center with the rears and be right where you want to be.
less expensive and same family sound.
ok?
best,

I just picked up my new Ruby Red VSM Masters with the Master BAM a couple of hours ago....I must say no one in my 40 years of hi fi experience goes to the lengths Bobby does to make sure you understand his speakers and how to get the most out of them....He is a one of a kind and we are the better for it...I have a hybrid system.... laptop/Wyred4Sound dac...and a 5.1 surround 3D Oppo setup using an Anthem MXR700....I am running the BAM in the dac loop for the moment until I can find out from Anthem if there is a dedicated tape in/record out section on their back panel...Yes I know they sound better on the big ARS as I've heard that combo a number of times at Bobby's but I have to whack a couple of birds at one time with my current setup...I also use a shielded center TSM that Bobby made for me...Thanks for your patience and kindness Bobby from a very thrilled owner
