need help with Merlin vsm mme for home theater

I'm sure I read a thread here about the ideal subwoofer xver points for the Merlins.

Djohnson54,
My Arcam'avr400's crossover low is 40Hz but I can always tweak it manually, I'm getting the bams as well, they need batteries? but I will hook it up as well and see if I can achieve a decent rollover.
thanks you for the info

You're right I found a few posts on Agon about subs + merlins it seems the concensus is approx 40hz,
I just bougth them the vsm mme with bams in excellent shape cant wait to fire them up!
I'm now using for cables Straight wire Symphony, hope they'll be ok,
thanks

They will sound perfectly fine with the Straightwire, assuming the connections are all good. I would think about cables till you have at least a year with your new toy!

hi everyone,
the rc is an hf filter at 1.6 mhz. it also offers the amp a termination of 10 ohms at 100 khz so the amp settles down and sounds as it should. a must in cities where there is an abundance of fri and emi.
the bam has a 5.2 db boost centered at 35 hz (narrow band) to boost bass energy to make the vsm's response flat to 32 hz. it also filters energy below 28 hz to remove out of band energy which increases im distortion in the mid band.
imo the sub at 30 hz with the bam in the system is the way to go as the sub will not reproduce 40 hz as well at teh vsm bam combination from a distortion and natural sense. abundance is another issue.
jfz's opinion shows great consideration has been used and i profoundly agree.
thanks to paul too.
