Re: QUESTIONS ABOUT MY NEW MERLINS

My VSM-MXs arrive tomorrow.
I also owned VSM-Ms for 2 years.

When I first tried the Merlins (home demo)in my old house in Chicago, I experienced similar results mainly because the room was so damn big. Mine was 25 x 40 x 15 and the Merlins had a problem with that.

I have also used Merlins with DH Labs Q-10s and has wonderful results even with a 55 wps Audio Analogue Puccini integrated.

If it's not your system (and its synergy), then I would look at your room. Merlins are NOT "big room speakers".....and you have a HUGE room. I don't know how much "balls" that Cary amp has. The only weak link I see in your system is the source. Still, I've run a $300 dvd player into my old system and got great bass.

What about speaker position in the room?
How far apart are they?
Were your Merlins new or used?
