Merlin TSM comparisons

Hi,

I've been reading up lately on all kinds of monitors, and have been intrigued by Merlin's TSM. The latest iteration is the mmi, I believe.

If you've heard the TSM lately, especially in comparison to other, current monitor offerings out there, I'd love to hear your opinions. I know that there are other Merlin threads on Audiogon but I am especially interested in hearing from folks who have compared them to others, especially if you've lived with them.

Thanks, Bobby, I will definitely give the Supra 6.0 cables a try with my TSMs.

Thanks again,
Dave

rebbi, the tsm offers very flat amplitude and a high degree of resolution. if the speakers are toed using the alignment tool (that they come with) and stand level, their contrast potential will become the best it can be. speakers as a rule have very good vertical and horizontal dispersion but the speaker's level may be many degrees off due to the floor it self. this is imho one of the most important first steps to good sound.
best, b

TSM'ers,

I hope nobody minds me mentioning that right now I'm selling a 3-meter pair of Supra Classic 6.0 speakers cable in the Audiogon classifieds. It's great stuff!

Thanks.

How do the Supra Sword speaker cables compare to the Classic 6?

totally out of the 6's price range and for the six's price you can't beat them. the swords and the cardas clear are in simlar price ranges just do you know. and their physcial make up is totally different, copper litz with cold forging. not a fair comparison for may reasons.
the latter being much better sounding but not for the budget minded.
