TSM-MM not loud enough ...


While I have no problems with bass due to integration with Vandy 2Wq subs, the TSM-MM can not fill my 21'x16'x9' room. It has taken years to get my system as optimized (to my tastes) as it is now, other than lack of shear volume at times. Is there any viable option? Would the VSM fill my needs? I think Merlins are in my blood forever, but ...

Any input appreciated.

hi t,
the vsm can play about 8 or 9 db louder than the tsm (up to 111 db)and is 3 db more efficient. you have to be the judge of how loud you need to go to make you, happy.
your room is only 3024 feet in volume so there should be no issue for the vsm to fill it. but again t, no one really has any idea of how loud you really want to go.
i can understand how on some music the tsm cannot play loudly enough. it was designed to fill smaller volumes and "i" feel the same way at times in larger spaces.

the comment from the dealer above is absurd as he has no first hand knowledge of current merlin products. he has a personal issue with me.

Great Audiofeil, your going to start knocking Merlin products as well as your usual dealer bashing!
Oh, I get it. They are Merlin speakers.. Never heard of them.

Their web site says they can produce 104dB with 80 watts. With a couple of subs that's pretty loud. What amps are you using? What kind of music do you listen to?
12inchwaffler,
I don't think you read my post carefully. Plenty of other choices refers to speakers capable of providing the necessary volume desired by the poster. It could be Merlin but it might not be as well. You don't think there are other brands equal to or better?

Don't be so trigger happy.
You wont go wrong with the VSM series.I had mine in a 13x21x8 room once and it was perfect.Good luck,Bob
