In Reply to: RE: REVIEW: Merlin Music Inc. TSM-MXr Speakers posted by bobbypalkovic on October 27, 2010 at 06:35:48
Well, Bobby...that's a good PC answer and you know that I remain a fan of Magnepan. Still, I did not imagine that the imaging qualities of the 1.6 pair would leave much to be desired. The imaging WAS focused and I could easily place instruments. But the TSMs do even more of that with a soundstage the extends beyond the side-walls. I keep wondering what single element of the speaker is most atractive and I come back to the imaging/soundstage. I'm not diminishing it's other strengths of course.

Nice review. The biggest problem with the new TSM-Mxr is that for the same money you can almost buy a used pair of the VSM-Mx.
nty, very true but imho, the vsm mx sounds quite inferior to the tsm mxr with master rcs from 55 to 20 khz.
best,

I won't even get into comparing the revised TSM to the older VSM.
In many settings a monitor speaker is more suitable. In my case I wanted a speaker that was more easily moved. I can move the TSM's and stands with no trouble. I believe each VSM weighs in at about 90 lbs....annoying if they must be moved often.
You can always make a case for used gear and I certainly have picked up some great bargains. But I wanted the best monitor I could find with the latest level of evolution. I'm very pleased with the TSM-MXr's.
Cheers,
Rob
