| Austin TX February, 2009 I am really glad that this is happening and I am going to do my best to attend!I had tried last fall to get another meeting together. I had visited another, very high-end audio shop in Austin (that shall remain nameless) and they were NOT interest... | |
| Ribbon Tweeters??? I had a pair of LSA1 Statements for a time. They use an Aurum Cantus ribbon tweeter, I believe. The highs were sweet and airy, very nice!One of the raps on ribbon tweeters, in the past, has been that they are difficult to integrate seamlessly with... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons They should. Bobby describes them as "stupid good" for the price. | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons jfz,Yeah, Lars is really nice. But I agree that there's no substitute for a real, metric hex wrench to tighten down those set screws. Anything less and the wire will work its way loose from the connector, at least in my experience. | |
| Merlin TSM with Shindo 25 watt amp Mikeyc8,I don't think "loudness" should be the only criteria here.Agreed. I should have said something like, "plenty of slam and dynamics." :-) | |
| Merlin TSM with Shindo 25 watt amp FWIW, I am running my TSM's in a 16 x 13 x 8 room with a pair of Manley Mahi monoblocks. I never take 'em out of triode mode (20 watts/channel) and they play PLENTY loud for me! I've tried them in UL mode (40 watts/channel) and I miss that gloriou... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? FWIW, I've been running my TSM-mmi's (not VSM's) with a pair of Manley Mahi's in triode mode, mostly -- roughly 24 watts into 6 ohms, and they sound great and play plenty loud, too. YMMV, naturally. | |

| Music Hall CD 35.2 -- comments? Hmmm... sounds like nobody has any experience with this thing. | |
| Music Hall CD 35.2 -- comments? Mechans,LOL. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Palasr:I LOVE Skylarking! Where do you get that remaster???? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Peter Gabriel, "So," especially "Don't Give Up" and "Mercy Street"Sade, "Promise," especially "War Of The Hearts" and "Is It A Crime"All sounding great with the lights turned off. :-) | |
| What I learned on Audiogon This Year I've learned that:1) A'gon is a great place to learn about audio. :-D2) A'gon is kind of like a virtual 12-step meeting for people who are addicted to system tinkering. ;-)3) Selling and buying from fellow A'gon'ers is generally a very pleasant ex... | |
| Green Mountain Audio "vs" Reference 3a Lew,Could you explain further what you mean by "asymmetric off axis response?" | |
