How do the Merlin TSM compare to other speakers

I am listening for the first time a new pair of TSM-MM that my friend Bernie (Canadian A) just purchased. I have a pair of Reference 3A De Capo I in my system that I have owned for 10 months. I am using Atma-Sphere M60s and MP-3 pre amp.
Let me tell you that I am shocked at how much more cohesive the TSM are over the 3A's. They are more open, and musical. They make my toes start to tap.
I have them for two more days before Bernie gets over shift work, but I can tell you now that I will be looking to purchase a pair of VSM soon as I can but some funds together. I hate this hobby!!!! I though I was finished upgrading. Bobby you have messed me up

Bryamp,

Do the new TSM have over 200 hours of normal listening volume on them yet ? If not, just wait till you hear them with 200, 300 or more and you will be more suprised.
.
Also consider saving a bit more and getting the MX version with BAM. Do that and you will be set speakwerwise for the rest of your audiolife (unless Bobby comes up with something radically better....probably will).

nothing planned but just revamped the bam. the new super bam is really a big improvement. i think as much as another 25 or 30% to the whole system.
price had to go up slightly because it cost us 33% more to build.

Bobby,

I, too, am sorry to hear that your father-in-law passed away. It has been a difficult road that you, your wife and her dad have traveled since the day of that car accident.

So…when are these “super BAMs” being shipped out? :)

a few are on their way now and more coming right after that so VERY soon.
