merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ?



Hi, Merlin vsm lovers

I use my merlin VSM in a room size of 12W*23L*9H -Feet
I wish my room was smaller to enjoy my merlins.

How big are your rooms ?

I've used mine in many different rooms over the last decade+. Dimensions have varied from 10' x 12' (a spare bedroom in an apt) to 14' x 35' (combo dining room/living room in same apartment) to a pair of 14ish x 20ish dedicated listening rooms (one w/high ceilings, the other lower), as well a few others in between. The speakers will sound a bit different in each setting, but they always retain their fundamental strengths (remarkable midrange clarity and impact) so long as they're reasonably carefully placed and the room isn't a nightmare.

For me, the trade off has always been maximizing imaging vs octave to octave balance. Pulled out into a larger room, the imaging can be really fantastic, but the bass may lose some weight. Backing them up to the wall behind them will generally restore weight to the tonal balance with some diminution of that wonderful staging/imaging. IME, smaller rooms generally make the issue moot - you'll get the bottom end weight at some cost to the image. No choice involved.

I've managed to make the speakers sound very good in each setting, but the bottom line is that I got my best overall results in a room with dimensions nearly identical to yours.

One more data point for you.
please describe you set up, room positioning and reflective surfaces. what version do you have? what seems to be the issue? lets see if we can help.

Thank you all for your inputs

I use my Merlin vsm MMe, Master BAM & Master RC,
AA Prestige SACD,
ARS Fila SE or Pathos Logos or Exposure 3010S2 pre/power (tonal quality is same in all three amps , all equally good),
all Cardas GR,
Equi Tech 2rqe.

Ars Fila SE does not have enough power to excite this room.
Pathos Logos = better drive than ARS Fila SE, but not enough
Exposure 3010S2 is best of all the three,but wish i had a little more power

OR a smaller room :)

I used to enjoy Fila SE in a small room before (10 feet *13 feet)
