Tvad,
I have the Merlin VSM-MXs with a Velodyne DD-15 sub. With the latest BBAM the Merlins have clean and authoritative bass with rock music down to 30hz or slightly below, under which the sub adds the ultimate foundation with the xover set at a 30hz. I can see this clearly on the integrated spectrum analyzer in the Velodyne and hear it as well. Within their range the Merlins are great bass performers (if you like your bass clean and tight), but their bass is quite dependent on correct room positioning and proper spiking. So perhaps the question is whether a speaker that goes into the low 30hz range is "full range."
