What's best for MX's?

What exactly does your question mean?

I'm guessing he means, what is the best amplifier for Merlin VSM-MX's between the Berning ZH270 and the ARS Sonum Filarmonia? Granted not a lot to go on wrt room size, choice of music, other ancillary components, etc...

The Berning is 70 Watts I believe and while it can be used as an integrated with 2 line level sources, my understanding is that it is best served with a more full sounding pre like the Joule. The ARS is an integrated and puts out 30 watts, (I have one on order). Bobby now distributes the Filarmonia so he obviously feels it's a great match for his speakers, and who would know better than him. Thus my order.

I'm sure Bobby would have an opinion but he'd likely want a bunch of additional info as well on the requestors system, (which anyone answering would I'm guessing).

Cheers.

Did you order the Ars with the V-Cap option? Do you want the gold or silver faceplate?

V-Cap Option? This will sound stupid but I wasn't even aware that there was a v-cap option? Don't know if mine will be coming with it or not but I'll ask Bobby.

I'm after the gold faceplate myself. Thanks,
