merlin tsm/primaluna?

As I`m not yet ready to put a system together, I`m not going to bother Bobby P. with questions right now. For me, the tsm mm`s are a no brainer. The only other high end system I`v owned utilized merlin sig. 4`s as my speakers. I can`t tell you how much I loved the presentation with those 3 ways! To cut to the chase, what are your thoughts/experience with this combo (tsm/primaluna)? I`m setting a 4-5k budget for the entire system and from what I`ve read, the primaluna sounds appealing. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Another thing. some say that the triode mode in the sli80 needs 89db sensitivity speakers or higher to perform at its best. The tsm`s @87db are slightly less efficient. How do you think this will sound in a 14x17 room?

thanks again.

capt, it depends on your taste in spl's and the music being played. the tsm has a higher than normal nominal impedance and low powered tubes like that because tubes have more power into higher loads. it may be a wash. try it and see.
