I used a McIntosh MC275 and passing it through my McIntosh MX135, and it sounds great. If you want more power, then go MC402 and a LLamm LL2 Deluxe pre. Just my opinion. Good luck. Tim
Merlin speaker /Amplifier combinations?
Merlin speaker owners/users.Which amplifiers do you recommend to use with Merlin.It seems that Valve/Tube amplification is very popular.My question refers more to Hybrid or Solid State amplification that would work well with Merlin VSM'S.Any opinions on the matter will be appreciated. My own speakers would be the VSM-MM's.

Bluebull, there was a thread on this topic here recently if you missed it, with Bobby P. offering his thoughts: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1096195545 . |
Rushton Thanks for the info on the thread. It does however not really answer my question as the Thread is full of very insightfull advice regarding Berning,Atma-Sphere and of course Joule.All valve/tube amps. I'm more interested in recommodations regarding Hybrid or solid state amps to use with the Merlin VSM's.I've had three Hybrid amps .Valve Audio 802,Valve Audio Predator and my current amp the Pathos Logos.(As a matter of interest Valve Audio made by Schalk Havenga of Pretoria ,South Africa .)I am also refering to the VSM-MM as I bought these on the advice of Mr Palkovic,who suggested them in favour of the MX,if used with Solid State output amps.I also had Proceed PRE and HPA2 combo at one stage ,but no comment on that! Thanks Blueish Torro PS:Thanks to all of you who have responded on all my Threads,it has been very educational . |
