Bobby-Thanks I run transparent music wave super;any words of wisdom of this cable?

rleff, newer merlins sound a lot more robust in my opinon. the mmi and mx-r sound great with ss or tubes. but the vsm mx-r with a master bam and master rcs will be a fantastic match with your cables. not to worry.
the transparent sounds a hair damped and a hair forward because it sits on the fence so you can use it easily with damped or lesser damped speakers systems. with the master bam and master rc's more robust sound, it is a great fit.

Robbob: I wasn't referring to the TSM. I believe they were called Excalibur -- or something like that. They were tower-type speakers and looked something like Mirage or big Vandersteens.

It's your opinion that the Totems -- you don't even say which ones -- are more colored than the Merlin. Are all of the Totems more colored? And what measurements have you performed? I notice in previous posts that you're predominantly a home theater kind of guy. That's nice.

Also, I'm certainly not saying cables don't make a difference. That's exactly opposite of what I'm saying, and that's why Bobby recommends Cardas probably 90 percent of the time. Plus I'm saying that removing lead and tightening the screws that hold tweeters in place a quarter turn do not result in sonic differences. But, hey, if I spent tens of thousands on speakers and associated gear I'd want to believe all of this and more, too. Happy listening.

robbob, isn't it great being talked down to by a guy who hasn't got a clue because he hasn't listened to anything current. who thinks measurments say everything and has many important facts, wrong? he resurfaces with the same nonsense every so often and i have tried many times to explain things to him which is very tiresome, wastes time and energy. so...i have stopped.
as i said, ignore him. he is prolonging this.
