Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I have a few questions:

1. What is the rest of your system?
2. What size room do you have?
3. Have you ever considered a sub?
4. How old are your Merlins?

I have owned 2 different pairs of Merlins and also Proac Response 2.5s. Electronics makes a major differnce.

I had VSM-Ms (currently VSM-MXs) and the bass was incredible even in a 20x26 room. However, when I put a lightweight amp in, the bass vanished.

Careful with all the crap you're about to get. The Merlin fan-base is deep here.....as is the group that wants to throw dirt on merlins. But the biggest base of all is the group that just tells you what their favorite speakers are.

In the end, Merlins may not be for you. But it would be a shame to get new speakers and find yourself in the same boat.

Sordidman gave good advice. approach this as a system. then call Bobby.
