Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-MMM Monitor


Category: Speakers

I just upgraded my TSM-MM to the TSM-MMM. I have had them back less than a week and I am very impressed by the upgrade.I really enjoyed my TSM-MM but I got the upgrade bug about 1 month ago so I called and talked to bobby at merlin and he suggested I upgrade my TSM-MM to the TSM-MMM and WOW am I glad he did.I have put only 5 hours on them since getting them back last week but they sound incredible.The bass is tighter the mids are more open and airy the soundstage is bigger and the highs are crisp.I was struck especially with how musical they are I could actually hear the reverberation from the strings on a guitar that I have never heard before.The only problem is they are so revealing they make me want to upgrade the rest of my system even more now.I like listening to Female vocals above all and little bits of Jazz and classical and some 80's rock.I would highly recommend these speaker to anyone looking for a pair of monitor speakers and especially to those with the TSM-MM already to upgrade to the TSM-MMM for a small fee for the great reward of a much better sound.

brf, in response to your post above.
after doing a number of master mods to speakers earlier that the mm, i found the improvements too considerable to not offer them to anyone who owns merlin speakers. in essence the master mod improvments are too obvious to worry about the difference in sound between the latest cabinet and ealier versions. you will plainly hear what has been achieved even with the earliest of cabinet designs. so even a pair of the earliest tsms can be upgraded to the mmm version.
the names are easy to follow. m to mm to mme to mmi to mmm.
the mmm and mxm may be the last versions.
ok?

Bobby, thanks for the clarification.

That latest model designation reminds of the Campbell's soup song...Mmm Mmm Good.
