Merlin Master Bam Alert

My buddy just received his dual mono dual ops bam.The first one sold.He has VSM MXE's.Thought you would like to see his reaction:"There is an uncanny sense of realism.
I was listening in the dark with my eyes closed.
The sense of being in a concert hall was so great that my brain created a seemingly real visual image of where it thought it was.
After the piece ended I just shut the system down. I did not want to take a chance of diminishing the impact of what I had just experienced.
Quite an accomplishment."
I will be receiving my single ended Master Bam shortly and will report my findings in more detail.

crt, i have not heard it so i cannot say.
who said it is better than the fila and why? what speaker was used?
what paul said is very well put.
i am not a fan of 88's as a rule.
i prefer e34l's and the fila was tuned to sound right with the merlins.

How about VSM-MXe with 845 SET ? :-)
My new/used pair of CAD805C will be here next week
My guess is the Merlins better match with 845 than 211
? (Yes, my pair has 845/211 switch mods)
My pre is Cary SLP05
Thanks

Bobby has usually steered me away from SET, but I'm sure he will pipe in:)

I had the VSM-mme with a Art Audio 845 SET and a deHavilland UltraVerve pre. All I will say is that I wish I had that set-up back.

Tjuan98, if your system and room are set-up with some care, I believe your are in for a treat.

Cheers,

Scott
