Speakers free of grain, glare and steel?

I have never heard Silverlines but they have a good reputation. I wonder if the other monitors you are looking at are really any better? PRobably different sounding to some extent at a minimum.

You have a nice system, including the speakers. I spent some time listening to Silverline speakers at THE SHOW in Newport. I liked them.

I am familiar with your amp and as Jdoris said Fritz runs these at shows with the Modwright amps. At THE SHOW in Las Vegas we had a room and Fritz lent us the Carbon 7's. We ran them with a 60 watt tube amp and they sounded very good. I suspect though they might like a bit more power and your amp can certainly provide it.

The Carbon 7's are underrated. They are worth a listen.

Just ordered the Merlin TSM-MMI with Master RCs. Since the proof's in the pudding, I'll report back after they've had a chance to break in...

Pm,

Let us know how the Merlins work out with the TAD Hibachi 125 monoblocks.

I suspect this should be a match made in heaven.

I know the TADs are working out extremely well with my little and fairly easy to drive (like the Merlin with RC I suspect) Triangle monitors, which is all I need out of them currently but I suspect they are capable of a lot more with bigger, more full range monitors or floor standers.

The TADs are also working out very well with my Stax sr80 electret headphones, which are pretty demanding in regards to amplification, much more so than my Triangles and I suspect perhaps more so even than the MErlins.

I haven't ruled out the Ohm Walsh 2000s, but now I'll have to wait and see how the Merlins work out.
